Dude,,, you are hard on these planes. That first attempt where you said " it went crazy" was clearly tail heavy. Have you ever assembled a balsa model ?
That's why I completely rearranged the layout to fix the cg by the next attempt. I also buy them used because I know I'm going to crash it. No... I'm not touching a balsa model when I've barely been flyin a year. Nor do I have that kind of time. I'm having fun with foamies 🤷🏿♂️
I always launch mine in safe. plus if you update the receiver to the as3x plus it has hand launch assist. so far no crashes that way. but I have lost a few props! great job sticking with it man!
Thanks! SAFE definitely makes hand launches easier. The next couple after this vid were WAY better. I'm definitely 3 props in already 🤣. It'd be a shame to have given up on the plane!
From experience, I always throw lefty even though I am a righty, because then I have my hand on controls not the throttle, I tend to fly without AS3X and safe since I fly ELRS but either way throwing lefty is the way to go, much easier and much more control overall in my opinion
@@CnRSPACE 100%! Mine had a reciever swap, paint and xt60 connections before I had the maiden. But to each their own. That's the beauty of the hobby. Some folks just want a RTF plane that works and won't di repairs. Some of us will fix stuff with packing foam, tape and glue 22 times before ordering new parts 🤣

After I finally got a flight, U realized the hand launch waa WAY easier than I made it. Just needed to throw it like I meant it 🤣
@@BullyBreedRC I've had that with my little edf Viper
My v900 randomly turns off in the air, it already has done it 3 times, I’m not fixing it. It takes 2 months to get eflight parts in Europe.
Can't you just use your iwn parts to repair it? Or do they use proprietary connectors
That bites. I'd swap it with Hobbywing and call it a day! 👊🏿
All the electronics can be swapped to any brand. And you can choose your own connectors if you're willing to solder 👊🏿
@@BullyBreedRC this is what I was thinking! Get your own receiver in there maybe? And do the bodywork DIY?
