e-Ikarus Piccolo-Eco 8/16 > Finally...tracking problems found and corrected on Eco 8 Royal!

After countless hours of trying to keep my Royal in track and with the help of several folks on another board the Royal is now a great flier. As it turns out you have to turn the blade grips around from there suggested position in the manual. Ikarus has now issued a supplement to there manual and it can be found here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...hmentid=1345133

Hope this helps out others that have been struggling with blade tracking problems!

More flights, still tracking true!

I now have several dozen flights on my Royal since flipping the grips around, it's still flying wonderful. I am really enjoying the Royal now, it's at least twice the size of the Trex and much easier to see for my tired old eyes!
With these changes I would now recommend this to anyone wanting a gentle flier. It's still definately no 3D ship but it cruises well, is probably capable of loops and rolls and stall turns but not much more in it's current configuration. I also suggest you get the hardened main shaft since the stock one is very soft and will either bend or wear out early.

I just got my Royal kit. Aside from the grips change, are you flying with tail braces? Also, did you need to add a support to your rear pulley? Thanks in advance.
