On youtube FT uses a tiny 800mah battery. I bought a 2200mah battery from amazon.ca for 30 bucks. This battery does not fit and is too big. I just jammed it into the battery compartment on an angle and electrical taped the power cord to the outside of the plane. Center of gravity too far forward. On my actual okay flight, while I was flying I thought "Lets see how it glides" more like "Lets see how it nose dives".
Actually throwing the airplane is required. Atleast half the can of elbow grease should be used.
After one nose dive the entire power pod was pushed into the plane. I just pulled it out so the prop could barely passby the foam nose, straightened the firewall and threw the plane again.
AAaaannd finally, the BBQ sticks that hold the ailron wing must be long enough for the elastic bands. Josh never specified at that time in the build video, so I just thought "As short as possible" and didn't bother fixing it before I went for my first flight.
I play a lot of flight simulator X, thought "How hard could it be?"... Any tips for a broken tail? One side is still attached, the other side is sheared. (The body, not the elevator wings.)
I don't see any dmg on my battery, so hopefully it doesn't spontaneously combust during the night like most Lipo's tend to do.
