rate of the model, this will reduce the likelihood of the model ending up too low and too slow on
final approach, with power coming on too late to arrest the descent and resulting in an off runway
landing.
Due to the relatively light wing loading of the Xcalibur+ and the clean design it is a pleasure to fly
through most aerobatics, and rolls, loops, spins etc are all easily performed, as can be slow flight,
particularly as the tank empties and the model weight reduces. The model is also very stable and
smooth to fly and we hope that you enjoy flying your Xcalibur+ as much as we enjoyed test flying
the prototypes and pre-production models!
