- On today's show we're doing a little investigation and repair into the crazy taxi , or ground handling of the 1.5M wingspan AVIOS Spitfire RC Airplane .
As you'll see from the test footage , it didn't well at first . LOL .
The problem turned out to be caused by the "toe in " angle of the main landing gear wheels . This induced a scrubbing sideways effect instead of rolling smoothly and was extremely noticeable on grippy surfaces like asphalt .
IMO the landing gear was not installed correctly , because when I reversed the struts from left to right , the problem IMMEDIATELY went away . I explain the details with some close ups . The plane taxis , rolls and turns very smoothly now , as it should .
If you have this airplane , I'd like to hear from you . Positive or negative . Mistakes can happen on assembly lines , I'm 100 % sure MINE had an unacceptable problem , out of the box with the way the wheels rolled . Maybe it's a one of . Maybe there's others that have this problem IDK ? , if they're on grass , or worn a bit , or if it's not AS BAD . Your plane may be fine .
Even with them scrubbing a bit , I believe the inertia of such a large rc plane may overcome the issue demonstrated when landing or on take off .
Again , IDK , but I wasn't going to take the chance with such a fantastic plane .
Let me know what you think ?
I'm all ready to maiden this now and I also have a short video already made , coming after , going over a few pros and cons , assembly tips and set up .
Thanks for watching and commenting .

I had already replaced the bad tail wheel shown BEFORE any of this filming . It WAS even worse than this .
All good now . Ready to maiden . I have a short pros and cons and assembly tips and setup video coming very soon on this plane as well . Thanks .
Sorry a bit of the footage was a bit blurry .
Hahahhaha that confused look on your face had me dying 😂.
Smart tuning Phil! Toe out much better, easier to push the vehicle straight, weird how it was toed in
WORST TAXI EVER !!! 😂 . I don't always do a test on every single plane , Very glad I did on this one . Because these wheels scrubbing and the causational bouncing effect , combined with that crown I have on my , ahem , RUNWAY .... Could have been a disaster .
It's such a nice plane Rex . I want everything to be perfect . Thanks Bud .
Philip, That poor Plane looks like the pilot was drinking ha ha. Great video today Bro 😀 Left a 👍10 have a great Day! 👋😎
Yeah , not a good mix . LOL . Never had anything like this before . Thanks Chas . 👍🏼🤠
Good job
I love those remote plains and copters, I gotta get some of these for entertainment and a couple drones as well
It's so much FUN !!! There's an RC for everyone , car , boat , plane and it's very affordable nowadays .
The line between Hobby Grade and Toy gets increasingly blurred .
i suggest to everyone of interest that they start out small and cheap , see what you like and don't .
Thanks Brother .
I had never seen a plane taxi like that, but if I ever do I now know how to correct it. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you my friend . i'm going to taxi test EVERYTHING from now on . I don't need to do much maneuvering where i fly , But I want the planes to work properly .
Maidens coming as soon as the new action cam does . Cheers👍🏼
Nice job figuring that landing gear issue I out. I was gonna say. Mine taxi's really smooth
😊
Thanks Roy , Yah no one else I know seems to have had an the same issue so that's good . I think they just made a mistake in assembly . I have 8-9 flights on it now and I love it .
Nice catch , the fix seem to work properly
Thank you very much! Glad I tested it . These warbirds can be squirrely enough on their own . LOL
👍👍👍👍
Thanks John .

Thanks Brother🙏🏻
