Guess what I didn't do
Well flew a new model for the first time today and had a very exiting flight that ended well. I checked batteries. control throws. all linkages. Took off and the nose just rose to about 60degrees and up it went. Rolled it over and it still wanted to climb.
flew it around for a couple minutes up high to get aquainted with the bad handling charectoristics then landed. On the bright I learned something today. Funny thing is it should hover well as is but doesn't fly well..

Re: Guess what I didn't do
Maybe forgot to glue the nose weight in and it slid to the tail.

Rolling it on it's back gave it away.
Climbs upright, and inverted. Tail heavy.

Re: Guess what I didn't do
The CG (tail heavy) thing just seemed too obvious!
