ok that's right I bolted mine on as well ...the engine should be powerful enough...not sure changing the prop would have any effect.....im guessing here but its either not powerful or too much drag......I would have to see it ......is the rear axel in line with the aluminium spar or further back towards the engine...it looked right in the picture...it sound that it cant rotate for some reason........lift....thrust.....drag......weight......the front opening on mine is about 2i to 3 inches deep gauze.....I assume the wing inflates but cannot rotate..i also had large wheels oh yes try flying her with out the body first..just in case...j Edited By jeremy stubbings 1 on 14/09/2014 02:30:28

whats the canard made of......I have entertained our lads since my first one 25 yrs ago.....my first one had an Ervine 40 and had to change the canard as it was made of ply and made a balsa one which was ridged enough once this was more solid it rotated in about 50ft.if you have made it from the plan DONT change the incidence ..the 10.6 is right.....mine has a larger opening but looks like Roy has the same set up as you and obviously has no problems ..all I can think of is check the canard make sure its going in the right direction for up..........mines unstoppable on rotation don't panic when they lift off they have a nose high attitude on lift off..once airbourne throttle back and use small movements at first till you get use to her.....if you can film her we may get a better idea....or wheres you field....good luck happy windbag flying.....
