I think its a bit tail heavy.. or The motor is overpowered.. Why it is always facing up..

Thanks Arun. not sure what happened  :headscratch: . I really need some experts views on this.
I mounted battery and other thing just behind the motor.  so literally nothing at tail.
Luckily only the motor mount broke. rest everything is fine. tail caro needs rebuilt.

Thanks

dear sir
in my plane i reduced  the motor mount  3 to 5 digre  downward  and it's now flying flat it might help you.
thank you

Enjoyed flying the same trainer with little wind. find it little difficult to control when its windy.

Not too clear but it looks tail heavy... may get stable with some weight at nose.

Also how heavy is the plane??

cheluvaraj

Mr. saurabh,

Its 667 grams with all the controllers and electronics.

Will be post more closeup pics soon.

Thanks

Dude this looks really fast... Try changing the motor to a less powered one like emax 2822 with 1047 will be very good for this.. You feel better while flying with that motor..
