Last nights flights...

So I took my wee-little Typhoon out last night for a few flights.

Blech. Something doesn't track well on it. The plane is balanced fine, the control surfaces seem to be set neutral, but it just doesn't fly too well.

The grass on the feild I use was a bit tall so take off's on the stock wheels was horrible. I ended up having to use the "Rest Area" or Pit Area as my runway. The take-off seemed fine, and I tried to gain some altitude to start trimming, but it just kept climbing even at half throttle. Every time I tried to turn the plane, it would start climbing again. It got so bad, I ended up in a flat spin right into the trees. No damage done other than the loss of my spinner...

I'll try to re-trim today, but it may be a bit too windy today.

Tower Hobbies shipped my BARF... should be here Friday.
