Im still new with RC planes and I have no help where I live. I learn from the internet. I started building with Balsa and crashed all my planes (expensive) so I came across Flite Test. I build the Ft trainer and the Versa Wing but I can't seem to get one in the air? They just dive straight into the ground. The CG is correct! I can fly, not a pro but I have a foam Cesna that flies great!
I want to fly the wing so much! Please help me figure out what the problem might be. Ive got the feeling its to heavy!?
On the plan it say that without the battery it should weigh about 300g,mine weigh about 450g with the motor ESC and reciever.
With the battery and extra fishing weights in the nose (to correct the CG) it weight is 850g!
I fitted a 2200kv motor with a 8x6 prop, a 40 ESC and a 3 cell battery. (pusher)
Throws is set to 30%. The prop is about 1cm away from the body.
Any advise please! I hope I gave you all the detail? Thank you!!
