I bought this for my grandson for Christmas. Tried to fly it for the first time yesterday and it just nosedives to the ground. I spent some time this morning making sure I could get the trim controls set to a neutral position. Then I worked on the center of gravity so that when I launched it by hand, it would fly level to the ground. But, still nose diving under power. Next I just held the plain level and cranked the prop to max, and I can feel it pulling the nose down. Is this a motor alignment issue or what?

yes to your final question . set prop shaft so it has a slight angle up.. any way you can shim motor up a few degrees?

The prop shaft appears to be a couple degrees above horizontal. This is a pusher, so that means the prop shaft is higher in the back than the end closest to the front of the plane. I watched a video of some guy correcting a nose diving problem and he was making a substantial adjustment in the direction you suggest (back end higher). This model appears to have a fixed motor, so I don't know if it can be adjusted.

This motor does not appear to be removable or adjustable.

is this the push me sail plane ... if it is you gota start digging . motor has to come out

After attempting to move the prop thrust angle up, I concluded this was not practical, and since it was a brand new unit, I decided to return it.
