nutty nutball

[onealja]

help im new to this and built a nutball, all it does is shoot up and flip over what is going on?

Without knowing anything else, I am guessing it is tail heavy. Move the battery forward and see how it goes.

That was my guess. Though could also be too much up thrust (these things need the motor pointing slightly down).

Yep I echo the tail heavy - that is exactly the symptom.

Ok ill add weight to the front. The battery is at the very front. I'll also check on the motor angle. I have a fun at i built if this doesn't work I just don't know how to do mixing on my turnigy 9x
