didn't know it had a fixed gear option, thanks! Looks like a cheap, simple and well flown aircraft, perfect to practice landings without stress!

this and the FMS Rafale are my favorite hand launch jets. And yes, the SOUND!! Unlike any other Jet I have, this thing is all turbine like sound and no electric motor noise at all -:) I get 3.5 min full throttle on a smc 2900, or a nice 5.5 min of 1/2 power cruise. Not the easiest one to hand launch, adding gear like you did is not a bad idea👍nice flight -:)

Me toooo! As for the 'factory cg' ideas, they are usually close, but way wrong.

As for example, the 1.4M fms pitts. Factory is around 4.5". At 110mm to 125mm, on 6s/4000, it's Purdy dayum close!

Rafale I cg'd the same battery as far back as possible!

I have the 3S version (old) and this 4S version is a screamer. This plane is way too small for 6S! The only thing I hate is the flimsy nose gear but I really like using the gear...not a hand thrower. With no rudder, have to watch it in the wind. Nice flight!

Tried to get this to fly on a 6s 64mm..

Couldn't get it to fly right..

Battery forward or back.. just a mess..

Lippisch p.15 on 6s 64mm.. definitely where the fun is

What receiver did you use? If Spektrum, can please tell me your rates for AS3X?
