Plane was very docile and a smooth flyer ...

hit a rut on landing so I went back up to grease one in..

thats when the quick connect let go :(

I NEVER use them, and that's why ... I rushed to get the maiden in and paid ....oh well .

no elevator = end of plane ...

may get another ,,again nice flyer but a scale abomination ;)

take care ~

Great looking the air the though, eh Swamp.

What battery where you using and where did you have it located? Did you find the CoG off?

Geof.

indeed Morb , got another coming :)

I'm using tanic 3s 1500/1550 packs good for 18a+ about 4 oz....

strapped to the underside of the tray ...taking the wing off to swap packs .


I set CG around 45-50 mm (per manual) seemed fine .

take care :)

Sorry about that Swamp fox. Didn't even sound like it hit that hard.
Just call it a "sportfire". It still looks the part in the video..

Damn swampy......

Perhaps a white one done up as a "reno wanna-be" might cut it if the scale don't.

Hope you a lot of luck on the next one.
