Oh yeah baby! That was fun. Ran 2 packs through and starting to dial it in. It was a bit nose heavy, but not bad. Moved the battery back some on the second pack and it was much closer. Weird thing is I didn't need to trim the ailerons or rudder at all. Im going to see if I can just move the battery to get the cg I want with out having to trim the elevator too. Lastly, I did this maiden with a 6S 65C 3300mha battery. Plane didn't have a lot of vertical takeoff power and only got 4 minute flight. When I checked the battery after the flight all cells were @ 3.7. So I will be buying some new batteries. Probably some Glacier 45C 5000mAh's 800g, or maybe the 5800's 865g. Think the 5800's would be to heavy? 65 grams difference between the two. Anyway all in all this was an awesome day for me. The wife even had fun. Now it's on to improving pilot skillz. :flyer:

Thanks fella's. Got say Im as hooked now as when I started flying Heli's. Can't hardly wait to build my next plane. So let me ask you guys this. If I swap the 17x10 prop I have on there now for a 18x8 that will give me a bit more on bottom end of things right? Pretty sure those are the two props Ken said I can run with this 4320-450 motor.

Yea, going up a little in diameter and down some in pitch will give more thrust in most cases.

Question.

On my radio DX-8 under System Setup/Trim Setup.... I left the values to the stock settings which are set to 5 and Trim Type = Common for all.
My question is should I have set them to 0 or is it ok where they are?

Thanks much...

The value is the number of steps each trim click will do, 5 is a good starting place. Setting it to 0 will effectively disable the trim tabs. If you find you can't quite get the plane trimmed because one click is too much, then lower the 5. Common means the trims will stay the same for any flight modes you have or haven't setup.
