Reviewed by J Kemble onThe new Ruckus was delivered on Thursday and this morning I made the maiden flight at our club site at Kirkbride Airfield.
Assembly as per the instructions was uncomplicated, and very similar to the my Riot.
The centre of gravity with a 3s 2200mAh Li-Po came out right in the middle of the given range. I set the rates low on the control surfaces and input -20% exponential on them all. This resulted in a very smooth flying model to start with. Beautiful loops and good stall turns. With increased aileron movement the rolls improved.
This is a very stable model and does not seem to have any vices. It has a very slippery airframe so be aware when landing. My first landing, bearing in mind we fly from a tarmac runway, produced quite a bounce or two. Subsequent landings were made with power on and this eliminated the bounce.
If you want a low wing electric powered sport model aircraft look no further. The Ruckus is for you!
