Sokol Questions
Hey All,
I got a handed down Sokol but the guy didn't have the instruction so I don't know the CofG or the recommended throws. Any help from one of you Sokol owners would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

RE: Sokol Questions
Hey now,
Set the c/g at 30% mac, and start with the aileron throws at 3/16" up and down and set the elevator at 1/4". Adjust from there.
No I don't own one but I've maidened three of them so far. I think they need more throw than I've suggested, but I like to just breathe on the sticks to manuver most floks want them softer than I do...Just make sure you've got plentty of room to land the thing, once it gets in ground effect (about a foot and a half off the deck) it won't slow down or lose altitude for a very long time.
