Flew mine for the first time yesterday. The day was nice...light breeze down the runway and about 65 degrees. With the larger nosewheel and extended strut the plane flew off the grass strip with no problem. My impression of the jet is much like others....flys heavy, rolls very slow, short flight time. First three flights went well but disaster on the fourth flight. The plane stopped responding to my control and hit the ground hard. I suspect that the BEC may have come unplugged....whatever it was it happened quick. Plane is rebuildable.

radfordc I replaced the stock AR636 with an older 7 channel AS3X for flaperons (grass ops as well) and keeping the airbrake, but also to hook up a satellite remote. Didn't like the stock RX placement cause I felt it could lead to issues being between the battery and ESC. Also added as many RF chokes I could, maybe at least 6, as per GliderGuy. Sounds like you may have lost signal. This is one aircraft that's tough enough to get a decent flight out of without having to worry about signal loss.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

BTW, radfordc, your initial take offs, flight and landing all looked great, so you definitely got the "right stuff" to fly this. Seems you lost signal when it was coming at you, meaning the battery was probably blocking the signal to the RX behind it. 1 of my remotes is in the very front of the nose.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

radfordc As long as you're rebuilding/repairing, a couple things to consider.
1) I put some reinforcement behind the nose gear brace rod (or whatever it's called). In the Stock setup, it goes into a piece of plastic that's glued into foam between the air intakes, no real bracing. After about 50 flights noticed mine was pancaking the foam and causing the rod to be loose. 90 degreed some carbon tubing and other pieces to take and spread the load of my "bull in a china shop" landings.
2) Carbon fiber tubes in the fuselage end just behind the battery bay, real clever engineering. Again happening after some 60 flights the fuselage started developing stress cracks just behind the battery where the nose wheel folds in. But being stupid, I disregarded the stress cracks and in an effort to get more flight time, I tried my Hobbystar 8000 mah that flies outstanding in my F16 and gives me over 5 minutes of flight time. Well, it barely got off the grass, had almost 0 vertical and required almost 80 to 90 % throttle to keep it up, resulting in almost no additional flight time. Upon landing, even with the nose up, when the front wheel came down, the entire front section with the battery dropped off.
I now only fly it on a 5000, at least it performs better than on a 6000 and I still get about the same flight time. Maybe it's just me or my flying, so just some food for thought.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

The repairs are coming along. I used strips of CF on the outside of the fuse to hold the broken parts together while being glued. I had some areas with no foam and I used some expanding spray foam to fill in the holes. My bigger issue is trying to find a replacement for the wing spar. HH doesn't have one in stock. They may have them in April. I measured the original and it is 9.65mm (.380) which isn't a standard size. I can find 10mm or .375". Will try one of those and see if it works.

I even use flaperons to help grass take-offs and changed the front nose wheel from the stock 1 7/8th to a Hangar Nine Pro-Lite 2 1/4", all of which helped get it's fat arse off the deck. Not sure what's up with your speed brake though. To get it to work, you need the travel to go from -100 to +100 (or vice versa). If the travel from your TX switch is only -100 to 0, it won't work properly.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

Hi,
sorry, sorry, I did a wrong measurement with my new digital CG libra.
Now I need 150g in the tail with a 6000er LiPo with 885g weight. The CG is 150mm.
Thats looks more better.
I will also try a FLOUREON 6200er 30C with 850g.
The SU is not a fast EDF, but it looks pretty good on ground and in the air.
The next maiden will be the Freewing AL 37.
Thanks for the infos.
Christian
