Desafio 2000 S

[Holzworth]

Sorry to hear that. It is pitch sensative  dialed down the throw added a 
little expo everthings ok. Not sure what your problem was with ground 
clearance but I hav eth bolly desafio gear and use a 17-10 still on the 
original prop no nicks yet.  Have not  touhed the cg, aileron throw or 
rudder throw since the original flight seems ok to me but I am a 
beginner we will see how I do in the new season.
