The motor is supposed to be this way. It counteracts the torque of the motor. Please read a beginner site and it will be all explained. Please do not alter the angle of the motor or it won't fly as it should.
ok I did suspect this was the case anyway. It's kind of like why helicopter rotors are angled too. I wasn't 100% sure this applied to planes because I didn't have to do this when I built my plane from scratch last time. Thanks for letting me know. The plane flies true anyway, so I'm not concerned about this.
@@BrianSu This is one of the reasons for the 2 counterrotating propeller on planes such as TU- 95 and AVRO Shackelton. On your comments I have no doubts of the other issues you have shows but keep in mind that WL-Toys is a chinese toys company and therefore it was to be expected. This model plane The Staggerwing Beechcraft not from WL-Toys but another chinese company was my first plane which I have flown over 20 years ago. The plane was able to fly only after extensive upgrade but it flow after upgrades like a dream. If you like this plane try the E-flite, EFL6125, Beechcraft Staggerwing 480 ARF with a decent brushless setting, a 3 axis gyro stabilisation and good transmitter/receiver combo. Of curse such a setup will cost a lot more but you will enjoy it more. Please make a video update of the maiden flight because I am really curious how it went. Thank you for your video!
@@greg2syth Hi thanks so much for your advice. I'm not prepared to spend more, also not very keen on flying bi-wings after this one. The maiden flight went surprisingly well. I noticed the turning radius was quite wide and barely missed trees. Maybe using dual-rate would help. Also the stall speed is very high. I need much more throttle to fly level than I would on the tiny EPP Foam Cessna-182. On the 2nd flight I couldn't clear a tree line in time and the plane got stuck up in it. A kind Samaritan scaled it late at night to retrieve it and kept it for me. When I got it back, 1 side of the elevator hinge was broken so I glued it back with foam-safe CA and it was back to its original glory. 3rd and 4th flights were uneventful but I've learned that I need to fly w/o the main landing gears because they always snap off when I land. This is because I only have access to a grass field and they get caught when landing. The plastic mounting brackets for the main landing gears are showing signs of fatigue so I've decided to fly without them and belly land going forwards.
I can't stop laughing. This guy knows absolutely nothing about model airplanes and can't be bothered to look up the basics. Prediction: three flights ranging from 5 to 20 seconds.

@@stejer211 very funny, I built my own 4 ch airplane over a decade ago. This one's flown 4 flights now all until the battery ran out, no dramas.
That’s why you buy real planes from eflight, Fms and freewing
I will but not a bi-wing :) this was just for fun and to learn how to fly bi-wings. I'd like to do a high wing balsa ARFT with Nitro at some point.
red will gone after each crash
yes the paint comes off easily
no pilotable computer fly with you
what?
