Default RE: I finally finished my Sig 4 Star 40

I have both the 4*-40 and just got done with my SE. I have an HB.61 in the 4* and it cruses right allong. Does what you say and has desent ke's, unlimitted vertical. Rolls are not axial, because of the dihedral. The Somethin Extra is different, axial rolls very fast even on low rates, elevator response is very touchy. I have an OS .46 LA on it and it doesn't have the power that I want. The CofG is a bit AFT from were they want it and it flies fine. Just put a little down elevator when landing.

Of course my 4* is terribly nose heavy and needs some lead in the tail. I need to do that sometime. It will fly different then. I have an APC 11-8 on the HB.61. It screams , probably over 90mph on a straight away.
