Another New Bobcat -- It Flies!!
Doug,
I haven't seen Tony's setup. I ussually like a pretty soft plane, so I was skeptical.... The pitch seemed fine on middle and High rate (I thought it may be too much, but it is not. )
I flew mostly on a pretty low rate aileron.... I like them pretty dead.
Rudder, I pretty much stuck with my 'as much as I get' rule, and it felt fine. I am turning the gyro gear down gain down... It was holding heading (resisting a change) a bit too much for my liking.
Balance was right on the plans. (Certainly did not feel tail heavy.)
Engine thrust is stock, and feels close... need more flying.... I may need a touch of down thrust.
