Now, as far as the next test flight, first install the prop guard so you don't end up with a repeat performance. Next, don't actually try to fly it. Power it up and down and get the trims dialed in. Once you have them adjusted, it should practically fly itself.

Yep, with the help of a pair of needle nosed pliers, that prop popped right off and the spare pushed right on. I don't know why the Chinese instructions didn't say "pull it off" instead of "unscrew it"......... Yes, I had the blade guards attached, but it slipped under the chair and beat itself up ..... OK, tomorrow, I'll take your advice and dial in the trims and do some hovering before I ...... do aerobatics ....... My granddaughters thank you too ....... because they are anxious to fly it.

Reminds me of a Christmas years ago. I was probably about 10. I got a Cox PT-19 control line trainer. I was so anxious to fly it. I put it together and we went down to the school yard. My Dad insisted he try it first. I get it started and my Dad is at the controls. He gets it off the ground, then straight up and straight down into the ground. Broken fuselage piece. That was that. |

We tried gluing it, but it wouldn't hold. A few days later, after the stores re-opened, we went to the hobby shop and ordered a new part. I eventually got to fly it. Funny thing is that EVERY kid I knew who had one had it broken by their father on its maiden flight. My next door neighbor was the funniest. His father took his off, leveled the plane off nicely, went around once, then got dizzy and fell down. I still laugh when I picture it in my mind. |
