hi guys
I put together a nutball , an ft flyer, and a baby blender. the nutball is just that, how on earth do you guys get em off the ground ? my nut ball went straight for about 10 feet then started spinning I throttled back applied opposite rudder to straighten it out gave some throttle and off she goes the other way never got more than 5 inches off the ground im thinking my wheels may be binding but im not sure its a mess right now! the ft flyer nice lil plane rigged it and tossed it to see how far it would glide, well not far but was almost level just a tad nose down I put her on the pavement and gave it some throttle and off she went, made it about 100 feet then sharp bank to the left and into the pavement upside down.
the lil blender I love the only problem ive had with it is the bottom wing, I glued it in to the fuselage and after a couple of rough landings or crashes as you may call it, the glue separated from the wing and I didn't notice it til it was taxying and then the next thing I saw was the rudder up against the wings, believe me cg had nothing to do with this not flying anymore. im letting my pride heal before I put them back together, but I wish Scott, Scott and David would make some video's on how not to build one of these classy lil planes I cant believe their planes go from work bench to flying hands off on the first flights, c'mon guys a lot of newbys like myself take your word as gospel till we go out with our newly damaged planes. anyway you guys are awesome
