A while ago i bought the nitroplanes fiberglass f4 phantom and have been working on it, but cannot seem to get it to move. Is it a weight problem? It might weigh around 7 to 10 pounds, but i am using the recommended jets: 70mm which are 3000kv each and it seems to be powerful like it wants to move but can't. Is 3000kv enough? I have covered every air spot so it is air tight. Really need help!
 
1. The F4 is a notoriously hard model to fly, not matter who makes the kit.
2. From a very minimal amount of research on some plane forums, this particular kit has a really bad reputation for being overly heavy, with high wing loadings. High wing loads and stubby little wings on a plane that's already known to be hard to fly is a recipe for a brick with a remote.

Sorry for the bad news, but that's what I've found.
 
Do you have any suggestions of what i could probably do? Any places i could go to get help?
 
I honestly don't, as I don't do any ducted fan stuff. Perhaps some of our other resident pilots will have some suggestions for you though.
