Plane not flying

by Colton Millard
(Kearns, Utah USA)

My plane won't stay in the air for more than a second! Me and my grandpa have replaced the pieces with brand new everything, but it won't stay in the air.
I can't keep taking everything off and replacing it, and we just went to fly it and I crashed it. It's not a rough motor anymore, it used to be very rough. We do everything we can but it just doesn't stay in the air - it falls, what do I do? Do I need a new and different motor?

 Plane not flying

This is a very difficult problem to address without knowing any details of the plane that you're trying to fly; it could be any number of issues that is causing the plane not to fly properly.
I invite you to join our forum here, and then maybe we can help you when we know more about the model and have some photos of it.

Can you tell me a bit more about the plane; what size motor, what's the motor doing, is it a home made kit or a factory kit? I probably can help you but will need to know more.

 Check elevator

I have never faced this kind challenge. I guess there are some problems with its elevator, so you need to check it before next fight.
