Hi All
I am about to fly the whiplash very soon. but have a few questions.

I lost the instructions, what are the recommended control throw's?

I have just 4/40 rods for the elevons, and they flex, what type of rods are people using?

Where is the cg?

What is the website for the whiplash???


Thanks

Bill

I can't find my instructions either.. but I know I use nothing but high rates cuz mine needs it when the engine quits ... I just have a LOT of expo put in..

I'm using the carbon rods that ACM makes for the Whip.. VERY nice and no flex..

You want a good bit on take off, at least 1/2" on elevons, even up to 5/8", then in flight, depending on the engine your running, you can cut back to 3/16" at high speeds, it depends on your actual speeds, the faster you go, the less you need, I made the mistake of leaving high rates in at about 190 mph and the roll rate was seemingly 10 rolls per second...

play it by ear, but use high rates on take off, you may need it, but be aware, you can over control...[X(]

let me know if I can help you, visit our website and send me an e mail direct..

On my standard version I use high rate elevator or a bit more on landing to hold the flair as long as possible just off the grass. My whiplash with dubb jett .50 at 4.5 lbs. it needs a clean hand launch holding the tail and balancing the wing tip.

the EXTREME version will fly tomorrow it the weather is good
