speed up. Landings are fairly fast and for the first one or two I would make sure you have some
battery power left for a ‘go-around’ in case you overshoot.
The Komet is quite docile when gliding and you can slow it down and apply full ‘up’ elevator with
no vices, other than it slows and stops - so again, check the ‘stall’ characteristics at height until you
are familiar with it’s flying qualities, as you lose elevator control when the speed decays. This is
why I use a high-rate elevator for landing only.
I hope you enjoy flying your Komet as much as I do. It reminds me of my Club 20 pylon racing days.
I am sure you could fit many other makes and types of motor, but the ones we have mentioned
here are a guide.
Have fun !
Jim.
