I got my Xtra 230 up today (bought it at the croydon show last week, its
white and covered in sony labels and it was being flown at the show).
A fe hiccups, I couldn't get it to loop as it just rolled out due to the
engine not having enough power and when I landed the first time the wing
bolt had vibrated off on one side.
After much tweaking of the needle I took off again to find I had not
enough power to loop but I flew it round for 10 minutes and landed it.
I thought I'd nailed it with some more tweaks, I took off and heard the
engine noise change a bit, tried to loop, and it rolled out flew along then
it struck my attention that my plane didn't have 3 front wheels. I promtly
landed and realised that the exhaust had vibrated off and that it had
probably caused most of my problems.
Anyway, some quick fix time and hope it flies well next time
