Default RE: Let's See Your Luftwaffe Birds!!!

Jerry,

The 154 flies rock solid.. fast but it feels heavy I am not sure how to explain it it could just be my nerves

I have 2 OS 52 4 strokes in it.. I use Spring air retracts.. the wingspan is about 70 inches ... I havent weighed it... maybe 12 lbs?

It lands real nice .. the take offs are almost always squirrely.. I think it is because my engines dont synch throughout the whole power band.. I synch em for 3/4 throttle so when I run them up for take off one is pulling slightly faster than the other.. I have tried full throttle take offs with someone holding the plane and releasing it.. that works best but I don tlike the way it looks ... maybe if I had brakes on it I could do it that way ..

I did some rolls the last time I flew it so I think I am starting to get used to the way it flies..
