I take it you don't you own a scale? Is that why you can't "weight"???

Do a pre-flight check to make sure everything is moving the right direction and bring lots of batteries

Be careful if it's windy and don't set the CG too far back. Other than that, toss it in the air and have fun! Good luck!

that was pretty sweet vid, especially around the 1:50 mark. my kids dp me the same way lol


got to attempt a maiden of my th edge this evening. i say attempt cause it was windy and i was in my back yard, lots of trees and power lines. did get her trimmed out alil bit. but lol im definetly not use to a 3d epp, rolls alil faster than my t-28 trojan. need to go to our bigger field till i get it somewhat trimmed and get use to it. but so far i love it.

Thanks! Yeah... The joy of 5-year-old twins.

A 3D EPP Foamie flies a bit different from a T-28, yes... Keep the rates low and the CG a bit forward for now. Then dial in insane 3D rates, move the CG back a bit and have some serious fun!

I'm not a very good 3D pilot, but the ExtraSlick almost makes me look like I know what I'm doing. That hover at 1:50 is almost textbook, isn't it? eace:

yea its pretty sweet. i hovered my trojan once lol seriously. the battery slid back and was tail heavy. it went into a elevator and then a momentary hover that seemed like it lasted for ever:scaredchair:. of course i meant to do that hehe. :bull: but i did get it on the ground in one piece. flew my super cub tail heavy once , without crashing it also. actually flew my um t-28 tail heavy also. hope these are just noob goofs and not a consistent pattern.
