Thats exactly todays task. Do you know what your cog is? Mine is already 10mm forward of the recommended cog, as i read somewhere that the cog in the manual was too far aft

Yeah i hold full up elevator to taxi but it still wants to dig its prop into the grass. Therefore i have to push it out to the runway, which for such a good looking plane, is not a good look! Take off roll, i have to feed the power in really slow all the way up to full power to avoid tipping. Once in the air its great. The stalling i was referring to David was not connected with slow flight then whacking in full up elevator. Hard to explain really, say your flying along good speed straight and level, then feed in full up elevator to perform a loop..the plane simply snap rolls at the top of the loop. Its not always the same direction it snaps. This is leading me to think that its stalling a tip. It will loop fine if you do a wide loop. Presumably with a harsh elevator input its bleeding off too much speed in the loop. Hope that makes sense??? Im running an Irvine 53, 11x7 prop my cog is set to 135mm aft of LE. I feel it needs a bigger engine in it so might squeeze in a 61

Hi, Looking for some advice with my turbo raven. I find it almost inpossible to taxi it out to the runway without the nose wanting to drop and dig into the grass. Any ideas on how i can fix this issue? Apart from that its a great flyer but does have a few things to watch out for like stalling with a full up elevator input and yes it does need a good bit of speed on the approach. Great looking model
