I was thinking we needed a thread just for the FT Flyer. Mods, success or fail stories, problems etc all in one place.
I'll start off with a bit of a success story. My first swappable and it flies! Well sort of. This is only my second RC plane and I'm sure my skill set is not the best way to maiden a new plane.
I'm having a little bit of a CG problem as I was still nosediving with full up trim and not quite flying straight with full left trim so I'll have to adjust the linkages to get my throws right.
Also I really should figure out expo and dual rate on my new Tactic 650 radio as I was flying with no modifications there and it sure was twitchy.
Aside from those issues, it flies pretty darn good, even with the 1300mah 2s battery from my ECX Smash. Yup, it's probably the heaviest FT Flyer out there, but I was still able to land it into the wind without any damage
So, a few more tweaks and then it will be back out flying. Really liking this plane so far and I'm sure it will just get better!
