Nice new bird Paul, shame it crashed immediately. CoG set at shop, elevator reversed perhaps?

Stubby little wings. My slow stick has a larger rudder-maybe larger total surface area.
Looks fast and hard to get going.

Hard to get going sure looks that way....

Yeah, these need a very hard throw to get enough air moving over the surfaces and for the EDF to have any effect. Shame as it looks nice, but should be repairable.
My guess, by Phase3.

Gd guess phase3....cg spot on just didnt have anuff movement 1/4in.... what was i thinking its now got 1/2in shes fixed n now flys,but like u say it does need a gd hand launch to get going not like my squall?

New paint due to each wing snaping off.....thought id beta being as it looked a bit of a mess + iv got used to flying it now :-)



Allso bottom....
