5:03 Yeah, that didn't go well on mine AT ALL. The holes in the bottom were too small for the screw heads and they did NOT want to thread their way into the fin. I had to rip it all apart, drill out the openings on the bottom (plastic) so the screw heads wouldn't jam in there and then force the threads in by starting the screw and using a pair of pliers to turn the screw head while the fin was out to force the threads into the fin. It finally went together after quite a fight and here's hoping I'll never have to replace tail parts because those screw heads are now stripped in a big way.

Exact same issue. Had I know, I would have tapped the holes. Definitely isn't as easy as they claim here.

Great plane!

Funny. Here in Denmark, the RTF version is sold with a 3300mAh battery.

Need advise on the CG. I understand it's 79.0mm back from the leading edge of wing but how far off of the fuselage? The manual doesn't give a dimension. Not sure I should go as close to the fuselage as possible, 1/2" off, 1" off, or what? Does it matter? Thank you

Hello, can I install a gopro on this airplane?

[@sinuemedina2550]

What if i get a 4000 mah c3 g2 smart spektrum lipo!

[@SoloCrimeWave]

That's exactly what I use in mines. Spektrum 3S-4000mAh 30c. More flight time. 😊

the timestamps are off

No one ever goes over checking the COG on this plane! I had to add 4oz to the nose and cannot find out why! Lol

[@Wings_of_foam]

CG should be 79mm from the leading edge of the wing measured at the fuselage. Did you place the battery correctly?

[@linksrc1]

No hate but you missed a step

[@Puffydoodles2]

what step
