Thx for the great vid

Besides having no gyro and other stabilization, this is the best beginner plane type you can start with. Other planes with a prop on the nose would not have survived as much this plane from all those crashes. You need to just set it up properly. Flipping the prop will feel like you just gained 800% more horsepower.

When you launch it , throw firmly and level. When it leaves your hand it’s pointed up then one wing stalls and it spirals in. Practice throwing it level ( use the tail boom as a reference) without letting it go. I have 4 T-hawks, good flyer.

Wow, blast from the past! I have one still kicking around in the garage but the motor and servos are tired. I flew the heck out of that thing, loved it. You've inspired me to maybe dust it off and restore it. I have a bunch of spare parts, went through a bunch of wings back in the day. On one of my wings I made a poster board "pod" and I put one of those parachute toys in it and took it up high, cut the throttle and dove to eject the guy and he'd float down. Great times! Don't give up! Hard to say what exactly was wrong in your flight attempts. Certainly need to get the CG right, it did seem a little pitchy. Not certain but it sounded like you reduced the throttle just after tossing it, if so don't do that, just keep it at full throttle and don't pull up much until you get your speed up and get some altitude. In working order it should easily take off from the pavement, I did lots of touch and goes with mine. Hand launching should be very easy too.

8:07 Your prop is on backwards. Flip it and change the direction of the motor again. You are losing most of its efficiency. It should fly out of your hand and cruise at 1/4 throttle with that motor.

This was my first plane with servos! Just throttle, rudder and elevator. No gyros, no training mode, and just sluggish enough to learn from mistakes. They do not make ‘em like this anymore!

Go on YOU TUBE and learn how to balance the model front to rear. The point should be about 1/3 back from the front (leading edge) of the wing. Move the sticks in very small amounts (dont jerk them ) Remember that the left and right control direction reverses when it flies toward you. toward you: move stick to the right the airplane will turn left. When learning just make left turns so the plane flies a rectangle path.

I had one of these and it was loads of fun till it I flew ot to far away and it lost signal and flew off never to be seen again 😂🤣 I think I still have the transponder around here somewhere lol When I first started building foam board planes the first pusher prop design I built I had these same issues cause I had no clue how pusher props work lol Definitely need the prop turning in the correct direction and a pusher prop not a tractor prop and the prop has to be put on facing in the correct direction, If you have the plane pointing away from you, the motor should be turning counter clockwise if not it will cause torque roll and thrust issues. You need to angle the motor a bit to the right and up if not it will cause pitch uses and torque roll issues also. I suggest getting the 1.1m AeroScout, I have one and it is absolutely awesome. The RTF version is about $250 and it comes with a decent Spectrum transponder 3S lipo Spectrum smart battery and charger and it has telemetry which tells you when your battery is getting low so you dont run out of power and crash lol it also has self leveling mode which is awesome for beginners. Imo it is the best pusher prop trainer for the price. ✌🏻

Hey bud, we had these things 20 years ago give or take and they flew fantastic well kind of but were the in thing.. They were called Electra fun.. Is too easy to re power and use 3s lipos 1400 size just fits and get it up quickly and increase fin size and elevator slightly and will fly easily... Since they flew with brushed motor and nicad it's too easy to re power them if yu get it right...

Looks like your prop was backwards

You need more nose weight.
