Default RE: Predator 500 Problems

Thanks Dave-
Knowing that Aileron response is minimal actuall helps me. I'm going to max out the ailerons. I don't have trouble with a twitchy plane so it will be a good starting point.

The CG on the first flight was 2 3/8 from the leading edge. On the second fligt it was moved back to 2 3/4.

I just checked the xmiter trims. About level for the elevator. But I clearly remember adding down trim on the second flight.

I'm thinking that the plaen was nose heavy on the first flight. (it would level out in a dive) So on that first one I added up trim.

Then on the second flight, after moving the CG back I still had the up trim on the xmitter.

I doubt I'll finsih it tonight, but I'm going to take glue to balsa now.
