Very good flying ! Would you mind to give some advice to newbies as me 69 YO which just started 3D flying. I recently finished my Crack Pits 3S maiden it and had few flights. What is yours preferred CG setting, neutral or other? How do you test it in flight, at which throttle level, just inverted or 45 deg inverted ? I can make few 3D manoeuvres, but I have to start learning hover when windy season here subsides. Thanks ! John

I used to fly one of these on the old 550 motor etc. Still have it. Mine also has the optional add in elevator unit. Very rare. What motor/esc combo has it please ? I found if you put it into a sharp turn and did say 2 x turns then it could enter a 'death spiral'. Had to extend the servo arm so I could literally jump the wing out of the spiral. Worked well !!!!

Get yourself a WL917 & swap the nozzle out for the proboat version's. Be like $60 into it, faster than the pro boat & handle just as good. & it has lights, that are actually decent enough to see at night. Need stock pro boat nozzle, steering rod, & rod boot. All you gotta do is drill a hole for rod/boot, relocate servo to the side & connect the servo to the nozzle. Nozzle just bolts on. Like $10 in parts. all the pro boat performance upgrade parts are bolt on then.

@theoztreecrasher2647Ай бұрын
You can run it on 3s and that gets it off the deck smartly. BUT, the full battery voltage is fed to the flight board and the JST plug and battery wires get very warm as do the Motor and ESC. Going WOT for any length of time is pretty likely to burn something out. 1 of ours died on 3s but that was probably due to the Old Fellah flying it getting the motor full of sand and re-launching it before clearing it out completely. 😉🙄
