General Esport Phoenix

[Rodders600]

Hi guys I tried my Esport phoenix for the first time and there is some thing really wrong hand launched and it hit the deck after maybe 5yds checked C of G and moved battery back tried again same outcome I was told high wing models check C of G under wing mid and low wing turn model over to check C of G does it matter that much.

When I hand launch the plane I open throttle full this seems to make the plane drag my arm toward the floor is this part of the trouble

Does it feel like it wants to pull out of your hand at full throttle? I'm wondering if the motor is spinning the proper direction.

How do you tell if pusher prop motor is going the right way

If you hold it in your hand and throttle it up, you will feel it want to pull out of your hand.
If it is going the wrong direction, or you prop is on backwards, the air pushed from the prop will travel forward over the wing. Not a good thing.
