Hi Paul,
I,m enjoying following your blog,
I,m repairing my bixler at the moment , :-[
from a crash ,I had on my first fpv flight, all was going well till I flew behind myself ,more importantly behind my van !  I lost signal and panicked  :o,resulting in a crash,
Just a thought about the apparent lack of thrust,
just check that you hàve/had the prop on the  right way round , its easy to mix up with a pusher prop, (  Iv,e found !  ) :-[ The plane will still fly but very under powered,
also re the balance issue, I think its built to balance with the assumption of FPV gear on the nose
Keep Up the blog ! I,m following with interest
Noel

Hi Noel, good to know there's someone else around besides me who repairs Bix3's!

I've had several flights now with the plane and new motor and it flies much better; optimum is around half throttle and I can get it to fly vertical at full tilt so pretty pleased.

Originally, I did have the prop on the wrong way round but got that sorted before the maiden.

Take offs and flying are okay, landings are not so good not helped by flying off an uneven Tarmac track. I need to gain confidence in hand launching. :o :)
