Wifey bought me a Lingcat for xmas last year. Took my time (2 months) putting it all together (ARTF). Had it checked out by friends that own the local model shop, one of whome offered to do the maiden flight for me. All was fine on the ground, C of G was spot on, all surfaces working as expected etc, so off he went.        Hurtled down the strip like a bat out of hell and all was well until the thing left the ground, at which point the $$$$$$$ thing flipped onto its back and no amount of stick jockeying would correct its flight, although the big tree did stop half of my model, the other half almost landed in a canel! In retrospect, we checked the C of G front to back but no one thought to check it across the wings........ I think that moving the battery pack to a slightly higher position in the model may have been a bad idea...

Have you tried contacting Gliders distribution out at Newark (0800 9170 107). Go to aircraft & gliders, then electric and its on the second page, about 3 white bars down (until they start adding more planes).   Shows as out of stock at the mo but give them a call!   This information was provided by the letters R and C and the number 3 (sesame street reference).
