How? I’ve always had a high success rate with it.

Well don't get me wrong, it was easy to fly! I was going great....until I lost sense of what way it was facing....(I did have some troubles taking off and getting balanced properly)

 

[Mr Man]

That IS the one flaw.

[Houndpup Rc]

The one consolation is that now I have a motor for @Mr Man s MS Mini Corsair!

 

[Houndpup Rc]

After the build - ruary I am going to build it again! I love how it flies! Also despite getting caught in a tree it has really boosted my courage to fly without a gyro! I don't think I will ever go back to a gyro! its sooo much funner without it! ( I will still use it on my NN Spitefire because it so fast its almost out of sight so quick!)

Ooops! Losing orientation sux! I've been luck enough to be about 5 mistakes high when it happens.

Always thought our 3 1/2 acre front yard was huge.....until I started flying. I was having lots of fun with throttle!

Hey @Mr Man I think my mini Mustang was faster.

 

[Mr Man]

Hey @Mr Man I think my mini Mustang was faster.

Hmm, idk, maybe it was just the edf motor I had in mine.

EDF?! I don't know it was very close in speed and I can't totally remember. Maybe I had a heavier battery in mine. what size did you have?

A 1300 4s, but I had to add a bunch of nose weight to get it to balance.

Okay, I had a 2200mah 4S and it was a touch too nose heavy all the way forward.

FYI, Build-ruary doesn't require your planes to survive to the end of Build-ruary. It just has to be shown that it flew... A half of a flight (takeoff but no landing) still counts as flying.

 

[Mr Man]

Back into the running he is.

So @FoamyDM Is this true? Is my Goblin still in? (Despite being in the burn pile😞)
