Love it.

The secret to flying one (besides practice!) is in how you deal with porpoising. I generally fly at 1/2 -2/3rds power, and when it starts pitching up, you give it MORE POWER. You do that until just before you get to the top of the "hump", and back off again, maybe as far as 1/3rd power. Finally, restore 1/2 power to smooth out the trough. Think of it like pushing a matchbox over a humped track, you want to push it up the incline, but once you transition to the curved piece, just lightly nudge it across.
Once you're in the zone, you can fly with a barely noticeable wave. No crazy swoopping = gaining altitude = no crashing.

WTF are you talking about with your crazy humping, nudge and track nonsense.

It's all code for the hearty prosciutto I gave 3's mom.

This is fun but it is a bit flimsy. The wings got broken on the first one after a few flights. For $18 I might be persuaded to get another. BTW thanks pen for the advice.

Flying time is about 15 minutes, it charges in 20. Ain't lithium wonderful?

in reply to #2 pen_sq


Thanks for the info. I've got one of these and for the life of me can't get the stupid thing to fly. I'll go give it a try again, using the techniques you specify.
