It’s struggled to fly well, but I think it’s because I’m a new pilot and it’s much less floaty compared to the other one I made. I’m hoping to get better before I break the poor thing, we’ll see

    I’ve heard that “push” planes that have a significant amount of the plane in front of the propeller are harder to fly.

      I wouldn’t doubt that. I like the propwash going over the tail, makes it easy to recover from a stall since you can force it over. The main reason I chose a pusher design is I still have a tendency to plow the nose into the ground and I want to protect the motor and prop

        Yeah, I’ve broken a couple of props with them. I’m a bad new enough pilot that I’d rather deal with broken props than a difficult airframe.
