    Status: offline     		Just finished one of these that I have had sitting on the shelf for about 5 years now. I have owned 3 hogs. All where finished when I got them. I left the wing ends off and did not round the elevators. The rudder is 1" bigger. I did not sheet the tail feathers either. The servos are in the rear of the plane and its getting a Saito 100 that should be here today.

    Status: offline     		Maidened my Hog today. As others have said WOW! Couple of clicks and flys like it's on rails. The OS 91 cruised at about half throttle. Winds were about 10-15 and landing was smooth but it took a lot of runway to get stopped. The Hog has a tendancy to nose down on take off and landing when it slowed. I could control the takeoff with a little elevator but landing still poses a problem. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it.

    ...and flys like it's on rails.



    This is one phrase that would not be the list of attributes of my Hog!!


    My Hog has nosed over once, albeit corrected pretty quickly. On my second flight I just gave a bit too much throttle and shaved the prop a bit. I would imagine i have about 30+ flights on it now w/o any nose over problems. It was built per the plans and balanced per the plans. Running a Saito 100 w/ a 15x6 prop. I land w/ 2 clicks of throttle and it usually settles in pretty nicely.

    Status: offline     		I maidened my Hog tonight. Really nice. The Saito 100 was plenty of power, I spent most of the time at 1/3 throttle. I took off at full throttle, and was off in about 20 feet before I had a chance to get the tail up.

    Flight characteristics are really nice. I ran it out of fuel and was a little surprised how quickly it loses altitude when dead stick, but no problem if you expect it. To answer a previous poster's question, I would say a Saito 90 or 82 would be plenty of power.

    Status: offline     		Well everyone was right the OS91 has more than enough power. I tried a 15x6 prop and could only get about 8600 RPM. Only needed about 1/3 throttle for cruising. I think I'll try a 14x6 for highter rpm and maybe it will slow down a little. This plane sure is fun to fly.

    Do you recall who had covered his pig in Yellow and
    black? I saw it somewhere but can't find it again. I don't think it was RCKen's. But I wanted to study it a bit more.
    Cheers,

    Sidekick, Hooked hasn't been logged on here since Feb 2007. Anyway, you might try Fubar Hill, as there are many Hogs on display there.
