Hi and first off im a complete newbie to fix wing. I have done a scratch build f22 raptor made from foamboard with 24"wing. Built with turnigy park 300 1600kv motor,orange rx,2x htx 9g servos,hobbyking 10a esc and a 3s 500mah lipo.
Problem is it didnt even get off the ground,straight up and down. Complete the model weighed in at just under 400g but just cant seem to fathom why it didnt fly. Had problem getting CoG so had to put lipo right on th nose,with weight at rear this is only place i could put it to level it out. When holding model and throttle it up you can feel force of motor trying to pull it out of your hand but hand launch and ir seemed gutless. Any help grately appreciated and hopefully i have put this in right thread. Those guys on flite test make it look so easy!!
Cheers
