After a couple years of inactivity, I thought I'd jump back in with a quick easy one. I modified the model a little and covered it with tissue, because I wanted something to look authentic on it. Oh, and I used tan rubber. Anyways, when it came time to trim the model, I put fifty winds on it and let it rip. First flight was a promising start. Second Flight and every flight after that, the model would fly straight for a couple seconds then roll over inverted; then fly inverted for a few seconds before nosing in. I'm certainly no pro, but I have built and successfully flown a couple models. I have never had a model want to fly inverted. Any suggestions? Also I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for really light motor pegs. I just finished a 900 series p-51. I've tried cutting up things I've had laying around (wood dowel, carbon tube, and aluminum tube), but they all seem heavy. The lightest was the carbon tube at .5 grams. What do you all use? I'll get picture up, but I need to figure out the whole photo bucket thing again.
