Check the model very carefully for warps, a member of my club had two and totalled both due (he insists) to warped wings cause by the packing.

Must second Mowerman s concern Stephen, as one was totalled at one of my flying sites only a week or so ago. The same concern was expressed, and the pilot was not a novice flyer. However, he did admit to not checking for warps.

Blue is the man altered throttle from 82 to 100 and its all ok but why did it not do this first time .Of course I used a receiver from a ic model and it still had that previous models settings Ive also reduced ailerons and elevator to calm it down thanks Blue

Beardy - for the acrowot, put in about 30% expo on ele and ails, and keep plenty of control movement, then you have the 'soft' control around the centres, but can really throw the plane about, once you have it's measure.
It's a very forgiving model that won't 'bite', no matter what daft controls you apply. With it being so light, most times if you hit the floor a bit firmer than you intended, it will bounce - but they do tend to forget to take the undercarriage with them, unless you have replaced the weak plastic bolts, and strengthened the ply plate.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!
