Re: Ct-114
It flies .
Good thing I was able to launch from the hill, the 10feet saved the plane. Too much up trim caused a nose high stall and without airflow over the tail it dropped . Once it was trimmed it flew well and looks GREAT in the air (at least I think so).
For EDF or any plane that doesn't have prop-wash over the tail, I think neutral or slight down trim would be better as you can keep the speed up and a slight back pressure will have it climbing.

A beauty Marc, especially on that second and third flight after you got it trimmed out.
Look forward to more success on the weekend.

Went to fly this morning and the impeller exploded. Not a fin left in there. Going to have to cut this open and install a new edf.
