This is my first attempt at electric but have been flying IC for
years. Checked and rechecked the C of G and it appears to be fine.
I've also just checked the overall weight against what it says in the
book and it should be between 1100 and 1200 grams and mine wieghs in
at 1120 grams so it doesn't appear to be a weight problem. Been
suggested elsewhere that I should bin the props supplied and fit a
pair of 5 x 5 ?
