Good Day All,
I have been interested in model aviation for over 40 years. As a kid I built models but could not afford the radios and servos so never flew anything I built. This past winter I purchase a Hobby Zone Champ and learned to fly it pretty well. I think decided to build the Tiny Trainer as a way to step up to a more advanced plane. The build went ok and then I ran into a major problem on my maiden flight
The plane tended to bank severely to the left upon launch and would crash and cartwheel on the left wingtip. I read some of the forums...made sure my propeller was not backwards, calibrated the ESC, build a new nose sectition (first one was damaged in crash), made sure battery was fully charged. I tried launching it again. Same problem. Seems like this plane is very heavy and is not getting any lift. Before I rebuild the rest of the body...any suggestions?
From watching other peoples videos, I thought this plane would fly even if I wasnt that accurate on my build.
Thanks
Lee
