Default RE: DD Questions

Robert,

My first Dust started rolling to the right after reaching high speeds when the airframe had about 90 flights on it. By that time there had been a few repairs to the airframe from mishaps. Twice I pulled the covering off (MonoKote) to check and reinforce possible flex points. I never did figure out the problem and the plane went in about 30 flights later. My second Dust has not started doing it yet but does not have that many flights on it. It seems like I remember Carl.E and one other with a similar problem on a Dust. I believe the newer Dust kits have a modification to help stop airframe flexing.

I have heard several people talk about the Dust "whooshing" sound but neither of my Dust's made that noise. I suspect that what ever is causing the noise is also causing drag.
