I give you the answer in the form of a riddle..it is neither on nor off. I'm not sure I trust the reflex Gyro after an incident I had with FMS super cub -:)
it takes off fine with out any input- toss it full power about 20 degrees up attitude. I put some sandpaper on the bottom of fuselage for better grip- it's a wide bottom
thanks for the comment. Actually, it's got a wide speed range from about 5 mph- 70+ . It rips fast at full throttle, and climbs like a rocket. I was just messing around with some slow flight 😄
I use a 2900 4s SMC pack, great pack and same weight as most 2200's I have, maybe 20 grams heavier. Taking the gear off is the only weight reduction I did. Flies MUCH better with no gear.@@joec8107
I've actually managed to float along at 1/3 throttle for 8 min flights, landing at 3.7 volts. Not super exciting to fly that way, but cool to get 8 min with an EDF jet 🙂
@@tomheetderks9997wow I’m impressed by 8min flight time. Those are great info for this plane. In rcgroups discussion,some people swap stock power set with freewing v2 6s edf(some foam cutting is needed due to 66mm size). It produces around 80% more thrust than stock one, solving the alpha lock issue of this plane.
crazy Throws jut to lift off the runway!!
Well flown! Got one myself. Did u do the canard mod?
Thanks! No, what is the canard mod, making it moveable? The best thing was just taking the gear off, it's SO much better as a hand launcher -:)
Good Vid! Thanks!!!
anytime!
also fly better with Sidewinder missiles off the wing tips?
probably doesnt matter either way..
Is the gyro ON during slow low pass? Is it OFF?

when you hand launch do you give her full Elevator? have not Hand Launch yet! just maiden!!

did you use stock 4s power system?
yep!
it's so underpowered...

@@tomheetderks9997Thanks, your Rafale looks great when it comes to vertical capability. Did you use 2200mah and cut any weight?

2600 mah or 2200?
2900 SMC 4S
