Wow nice flight Cheluvraj What happen at the end? :headscratch:
I think its a bit tail heavy.. or The motor is overpowered.. Why it is always facing up..
Hope all electronics are safe... Congrats for your first flight.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
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.

Comments please
Not too clear but it looks tail heavy... may get stable with some weight at nose.
Also how heavy is the plane??
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..
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Arun,
you thinks its fast ? i'm using 1100 kv motor for this.
Cheluvaraj
May be because of the wind i felt so.. :headscratch: :headscratch:
so soon I'm going to try again when there is no wind.
what was your plane's weight ?
It was about 600gms incl 2200mah 3s...
