    It is agreed . W&b in balance. From Max forward on take off . Then on that flare you are at minimum w&b . Not when you need that suddenly tail heavy . It seems safer to be the other way around . spacesailor

    moneybags. How does your w&b work. when your full fuel has correct correct w&b. Then when at minimum, the w&b will have moved Nose heavy with rear tank. Tail heavy with ' over your knees ' tank . (Similar to the HummelBird) . I always wonder if it leads to stalls on the Landing flare . spacesailor

    One bad " solder " joint . ( spot weld ) It will take forever to fix it. I had an Akai vcr with crook solder joints . After the third atempt the warranty would not cover it again . I had to fight tooth & nail to get a replacement, & only after agreeing for the dud to be returned to maker . spacesailor PS. : was given a dead Battery pack .opened it up & two weld tabs were not done .it should have been returned, but too much hassle, so I chopped it up to resize for my use .

    Old post now ! . But . Now the talk in on ' batteries' . I checked my original ' used ' forktruck 72 volt at under a couple of thousand dollars. Today they have a 24 volt battery for $ 1,475 with 2 years warranty. It seems the government have rewarded all their wealthy friends. And the rebate is deleted! except the original 44c . spacesailor

    Almost crashed . Motor pulling 3g revs , pulled back on the controls. And I was looking at the roof not the garage door . What a shock , just the air pressure from the prop making the elevator work. Fixed that smartly , a ' stand ' under the rear fuselage and removel of the joystick . spacesailor
