Hi, I realise this is a very old post and I am new to the forum so this might not be the place to put this post, but after a successful maiden off grass (albeit a very long rollout which surprised mean it was right to the edge) today I sent her up and it was out of control from just after takeoff, I had control then did not , initially I just thought it was a stall i needed to recover from - got to a height and realised I had again lost control and she spiralled into the ground. I fly frisky X20 and flight logs show no loss of signal. So I am going to assume I got hit by a horror in the wiring gremlins - though at crash site everything operated normally - except of course fuselage was broken in two.
So whilst I await my new fuselage I am going to
1) wire all controls directly to receiver and the little blue box and wing wire connectors will be gone.
2) I was going to add a longer front strut to try to get a little more angle of attack suggested in this thread from the L39
3) I am going to move back the CG from 95mm to 105mm which seemed to be the suggestion too if flying off grass.
I was also pondering whether to add a separate BEC rather than the one in the ESC - any thoughts as consensus seems to be that the built in BEC is reliable, but the nerves are rattled
I looked at shortening the rear shocks but there is no a lot of metal to cut so have not done that as yet.
Anything else anyone cares to suggest to help grass takeoffs and help prevent loss of controls?.
Receiver is a tandem Frisky, and battery is a 4500 65C
