ESM 50cc ME-109

I bought one last year for mine from BigPlanes.
Kwik, their website states not in stock for the spiral version and "ask for delivery time" for the aluminum 2 or 3 blade version. I don't know what that is supposed to mean as there are other spinners for different ESM planes listed in stock.

I test flew mine a week or so ago and had the balance at 130mm. It flew quite well, but did seem "heavy" on landing. I think the balance is a bit too far forward.

Not sure I would describe what occurred as a landing. More like an organized drop! lol Furthermore, not much could be derived as to set up from such an event. Seem to fly well. Maybe next time, roll it inverted and see how much down elevator you need to maintain inverted. That will give you a good indicator of CG.

I would agree....first flight jitters did make it a bit difficult to feel comfortable doing anything other then race track pattern. Visually, it didn't seem to be going that fast on approach, but once it went by us, it was definitely still carrying a lot of momentum. I need to get it slower, but also have a bit of power still turning the prop. Its a delicate mix of that considering its a 12 pitch prop.

That must have just been a faulty tire. Mine takes off very good. I just have to make myself advance the throttle slowly to get the tail up and flying. Mine does tend to pull left pretty bad if I advance the throttle fast. But then again, mine is electric and has lots of power.
Put it back together and give it a try, this is too soon to give up!

Sorry to jump in here. New to the site. I'm building and 88" 109 and wondering if anyone is flying this airplane with the CA hinges supplied? What hinges are you using if not. I have stripped all the covering off mine and filled in the bays in preparation for fiberglassing the wings and horizontal. There is enough bite for a regular size Dubro, a CA, but not a Robart. Also, the elevator control horn bites into almost nothing. Just wondering how you guys are handling this. So far, I have added blocks to the hinge positions and used Robarts. Wondering if this is overkill.
