Go to the Hobbyzone site and one of the reviews tells what he set his flaps to.

3rd flight and mine broke at the same place on landing, it wasn't that hard of a landing. Just like you there is no replacement for this part.

If the servo arm is broken would it be possible to take a standard 3 or 4 hole servo arm and use a Dremel tool to ream a slot through all holes?

With a steady hand and the right bit, I’d predict yes!

Update on this issue. I contacted hobby zone about this issue of no replacement for this rod, asking when they would have this replacement part available. They didn't answer this question but did say they are sending me the replacement part. thumbs up to them, but i would like to be able to buy spares as i'm guessing this will not be the last time it breaks off.

Finally flew....this plane flys much easier then some lf my parkzone 3s planes.

I have 4 flights on admiral 2200s I think I am going to 3000 after watching captain mikes vids.

I dont have any gyro and fly it very confidently.

I have 70 and 80mm jets that are 6S and they are too intimidating to even try and learn on for me. This is in my opinion the perfect trainer but evem the pros in my club liked this plane and some of them were considering to get as an easy flyer.

Heat up an exacto knife and cut the hole first then dremel it.

Broke my front landing gear on 5th flight stall bounce.

Same on my Marlin, broke on grass landing. But call HZ customer service, a modified front landing gear is expected to arrive soon.

I just got mine last week. Got 2 flights before the rain hit on Sunday. Took off grass with no problem at all. It is my first EDF Jet and was very easy to fly, the flaps really slow the plane down and made landing it a breeze. Flew it on Floureon 4s 2200 batteries. I think I will try to 3d print a reinforcement to go over the servo arm that came with the landing gear before mine breaks. Thanks for the heads up..

How are those Floureon batteries holding up?
I've been looking at those on Ebay.

They have this replacement part for sale now on their website.

Is this what you are referring to?

Anyone have issues with the servo jamming? Notice mine freezes all the way to one side on bouncy landings.
