I know why my old FMS Easy Trainer 1280 flew so poorly-- I had the prop on backwards! Embarrassed to admit that, but it makes a huge difference, and the instructions are not that explicit. Fantastic weather today, so I flew the new one with the DX5e transmitter and Spektrum receiver and it was good. It still seems a bit underpowered and I am considering a prop change for it. I've got a gray nylon pusher prop, the kind I use with the Dynam powered gliders but slightly larger in diameter, and I think I can modify it enough to use it on the FMS 1280.
I made a bid on an out-of-box but unused DX5e on eBay and won it. That will match a spare Spektrum receiver. I'll use that combo in the electric powered Goldberg Sophisticated Lady I've been working on for so long.
