Eflite F-18 80mm Hornet - Maiden Flight

This is actually the second flight.. My first flight was very tail heavy because I balanced my CG too far back and almost lost the jet twice. I had to keep the power on and nose down or else it would stall. Much happier with this flight!! I balanced at 75mm for this re-maiden with a Hobbystar 4200mah 6s Lipo.

Nice pup you got there... pretty chilling and not chasing it.

I had problems with mine too on maiden with CG at 85mm. I flew two flights on it. Unlike your experience, mine flew wonky once I deployed the gear to land. I'm going to go out again with it a second time and try moving the battery much further forward and try to balance at the 75mm mark. Nice flying dude!

Good model! Does it capable to make high alpha as F-16?

Great flight, based on this flight did you keep the CG the same at 75mm? Also, I hope those aren't gas trucks LOL?

Hi Andy, about to maiden mine. What did you end up setting the cg? Ta
