I've been into RC cars my whole life and decided to learn to fly. I had no idea what I was getting into and bought a Sport cub s2 to learn on. I took to it (with SAFE) kinda easily. So I decided I wanted something bigger and I'll admit, I jumped the gun and built a swappable spitfire that I totally wrecked. I decided to try again and built the swappable simple scout. This time I even installed the FT Aura. I took it out to maiden it today and I just couldn't get it in the air... Closest thing to flying was about 20 feet before it tanked to the ground. I feel like I have no control, I can't make it climb or anything. I know it snot something that anyone could answer without seeing the problem, but it's kinda disheartening to build these beautiful models only to crash them without ever getting them in the air. Should I put foam board building on the back burner and invest in a bigger trainer with SAFE such as an apprentice, or should I keep at it. We have a local RC plane club but it's not very active so I really don't have anyone around to go to for advice. At this point I have a complete Power Pack B and Power Pack C along with the aura 5. Does anyone have any advice to lift my spirits or maybe recommend another speed build kit that might work for me?
