Just go into the menu on your radio and reverse all the channels as long as they all move in the correct direction after doing this it shouldn't be a problem.

no!! is better if you get the AXN Floater-hobbycity****/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8359 looks just like the easy start is only 57 bucks is really easy to fly and you wont have trouble if you crash since the proppeler is on the back, the magnets on the motor sometimes get loose so get a replacement motor, only 4 buck here!!!, get maximum a 2200 battery, it give you a least 40 minutes of flying time!!

Easy stuff,I cut the middle section out, then took the cover off the one closest to the tail.I then put velcro on the batt and the underside of the cover works good,and get yourself a apc prop 8 by 8 this is perfect for this plane,and i've tried alot of props this is the size,take the pants off the wheels as well.Hope this helps dude!

I know 3s 1800mah is acceptable for this plane, but is 20c an ok c rating? or should I get 30c? 20c would be much cheaper though, would the plane kill it if its that low of a c rating? Thanks guys.

20c vs 30c discharge rate is not that important for this simple trainer/aerobatic high wing. Is not like EDF's power requirement. If 20c is cheaper, go ahead.

This won't show in the review section. The plane fly’s great and has plenty of power, it comes with no instructions at all.
The speed controller has the brake on and I can’t find any info on it to turn it off. I have had no reply.
The wing has 3 pins on the front that hook into holes in fuse, the holes are smaller than the pins they need to be drilled out, there is no CG marking on the plane I used 60mm back from leading edge and it flew ok. The battery compartment underneath is too small for the recommended battery and to far back for the CG. I cut out some of the foam and plastic out in the top of the front of compartment so the battery could stand up further forward and Velcro to the front of compartment to help the CG.
Also on the first flight the wing strut unclipped at the fuse and broke on landing. I did not know that the bottom of the struts screw on to a section at the fuse, which clips off to easy, I drilled a really small hole from front to back of the clip and put a small safety pin through to stop the struts coming off. It took about 4 hours to setup ready for flight. The main undercarriage tends to bend in 30mm grass and little bit larger wheels would be much better and the spats jam in to tyres, as they don’t hook on the axel properly. Also if you have a u shaped clip left over it is for connecting the tail wheel to the rudder. Once all the little probs are fixed it fly’s great and are happy with the plane. Instructions would be nice.

Put some CA on the wing strut clips,get rid of the wheel pants,undercarriage always bends on mine to but it only takes a second to bend them back.The 3 pins,i put 2 wooden pins in mine just for extra security,i lost my wing on the first plane,those 3 pins are to short.Do yourself a favour and put a apc prop on it 8by8

Is it possible to fit a 1600mAh battery in this plane? What are the dimensions of the battery compartment?
|
|
|
| |
|
vision325
(46%)
Battery compartment is 70mm x 35mm x 32mm deep.
This would fit a 1300mah 3s perfectly if it wasn't for the battery wires so you need to cut out part of it to fit a 1300mah, easy to do. The 1600mah is 90mm long I think so you would have to cut into the servo compartment which is doable, only the plastic cage separates these two compartments.The extra weight is forward of the C of G which helps as this plane tends to be a little tail heavy with a 1300mah battery set up

Don't worry about 1300 i only use 1800 in mine,only have to cut the middle out of battery tray, depth is not a problem, and put velcro on batt and under batt cover.Plane does need some weight up front to get c of g spot on around 25-30grams but do your own testing on that one.

Thge C of G of all aircraft is 25 to 33% back of the leading edge.
For example if the wing is 10 inches wide, the acceptable C of g is anywhere from 2.5 to 33 inches back of the leading edge.

Looking at the hatch under the wing you can see its white foam painted red so odds are it's EPS. Usualy they use EPO as a selling point in the description aswell.

Nice, classics are always nice and this is also a very classic livery for the Decathlon.
I would like it bigger like the durafly c182 with similar details...
Is the single piece wing dimension making the shipping price soo high?

3.289kg isnt heavy really. It sounds heavy when you say Three Thousand Two Hundred and Eight Nine grams. But when you hold a 1.2mtr long box that weights 3.289kg you realise its not very heavy for the volume/size.
