I have the Bixler RC plane from Udrone.com...I just took it out to the field and it had nearly no lift. It would be in the air for maybe 3 seconds then bank right and nose dive to the ground. I don't have anything out of the ordinary within the plane. I have the included washers in the nose, an rx/tx, adrupilot, battery, and telemetry. I feel as the motor doesnt have enough power to take the plane off. Spending $600 on something that wont even get off the ground is extremely frustrating. Any tips or tricks please help. Thanks!

Have you checked the Center of Gravity (it depends on where you put in your batteries)? It should balance right on the spar.
What kind of batteries are you using (number of cells, amp ratings)?
This is a standard Bixler. It's designed for beginners and there are many thousand of them out there. It's one of the best flying trainers, so that's not the issue.
