Does any one have instructions on how to replace the Landing Gear Strut? It looks like there is a pin that needs to be popped out to then remove the current strut.

If you look at your strut or the spare parts on Motions site you'll see two set screws to remove the strut from the pin.

Hi everyone,

Hoping a few can give some insight.

Maidened my Spit yesterday and had a few flying characteristics issues. She flies pretty well, maybe a little less power in the air (compared to my Bearcat with a similar set up) but nice nonetheless.

The only real issue was on landing, I found her very tricky and she seemed to have a tendency to balloon. Also tipped a bit and scraped the wing tips but that was almost to be expected with such a narrow track.

Can I ask if anyone else has found similar characteristics with the 1200 Spit, and if you would have any tips either for small modifications to the model which might help, or any techniques for landing that might help mitigate issues.

For info, I was lucky to have a very calm day yesterday so it wasn’t being buffeted by wind and I was landing without using the flaps at all.

Thanks in advance for any insight or tips anyone can give who has more stick experience with the Spit!

Binding my receiver to plane and ESC has constant beeping until I move throttle to max and then beeping continues but at lower tone. Reset everything and when I restart, motor runs at idle. Motor does not stop. Swapped receivers but same issue. All other channels/controls work fine. Thoughts?

Lower throttle trim as low as it will go. Rebind. Do throttle calibration. Adjust throttle cut to suit.

The single beep means it sees too much throttle and won't allow initialization even though everything else works. When you moved the throttle up, you put the ESC into programming mode. If you did something after that, you may have changed the ESC programming. Might be wise to read the ESC manual, go back in and set everything back to default.
