I'm excited to finally post this one! It reminds me of a hot rod dragster, and definitely performs like one. It flies best close to sea level and isn't stable at higher altitudes. Sometimes it loses stability when pitching down alot (if you know why or how to fix this I would appreciate your help). If this happens, pitch up and it will settle down. It also tends to pitch bounce a bit...
Before you take off, slide the VTOL all the way up and throttle up for a flame show. Otherwise keep VTOL in the middle.
You can ditch it into the water at full speed and come out no problem, as long as you don't get too deep or hit it at too steep of an angle. With practice you can skim the top of the water and bob in and out.
I hope you enjoy this one. Any comments or suggestions is appreciated! - JShay

38.8k hypnotoadGosh it's so fast!!!! As ALWAYS from you it's a total triumph! I had a go at fixing thr pitch but even enlarging it didn't really work. I think it might be the position of the COT given its in front on the pitch control. I'm not at all sure of that but that's the only thing I could think of. Well done as always buddy9.4 years ago
