Bought one in December, but moved house and now only chance to fly. Now due to house move, I havent flown since last October, so to prove I still could I flew my venerable acrowot foam e and all went well. So battery in the Alpine, c of g somewhere near, 3/4 throttle and a lob, and hell fire, off nearly vertically, and a massive uncontrollable role left and cartwheeled in. Bit bent nose end but ok for another try. Moved battery forward, and the same but managed to catch it with full right aileron, and off it went needing loads of down held in. Gained some height, off with throttle and amazingly needed no trim for a nice flat glide. Open throttle and will then try and go vertical but with insufficient power it stalls left. Part throttle and seems to have the makings of a pleasant flyer, but its the first model ever that I have crashed on a maiden. Had 3 flights of limited pleasantness and on the final landing coming in nice and flat a gentle squeeze on up elevator to flare and flicked in from 6" with no damage but I conclude the following........ c of g may be too aft. Will try a throttle to down elevator mix to control the pitching up when power is applied.

Was looking to buy a transmitter from them but asked if it was latest version,no reply.Send another enquiry, got a reply saying would look at stock and come back to me, but haven't, so in view of what I have seen written here, I will buy elsewhere.Thanks

Ive sold many items on the BMFA website, none with a picture only because Im not overly clever at getting pictures on.Tried once and it said "picture too large" and that was it....I was stumped.Pretty much all I sell is new in box, be it an engine or an artf kit. I can only assume that those who buy my bargains know what a new in box product is so maybe for them a picture is superfluous?.To be honest, those who have asked by email for a photo, have sadly tended to be timewasters.So words only and a fair price have always done it for me.
