Gaz Elliott Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Just got the fun jet ultra. It has the multiplex power setup on 3cekl . My first launch I was conscious that full throttle will roll it do launched at approx 1/3 to 1/2 .no luck it dived and bust the prop even with some up elevator . Any tips on launching this baby as it is gonna be s beaut once flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Laverick Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 If you're not happy with giving full throttle on launch, the plane is designed to be chucked so I can't see it turning that much, type in to your browser bungee launch build and you will see loads of different ideas on building your own launch system John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Elliott Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Panic over. There was a gentle breeze today at the patch and I though Just once lets give it a go. trimmed right and up power so I could feel it push ( About half) New prop and a good shove. up and away . what a great feeling. But then to trim out all the up and right as it was too much. Great half circuit before orientation became difficult with the grey sky argggghhh. long search soon had her back on the patch and chucked back up after a quick check over and reduced the trims. Much better. Still climbs on throttle so need to either mix throttle and elevator or will try putting in bit of down thrust on the motor. Great stuff . The fleet is now nearly all operational!!!
