when stall was tested i put the the model in nose hight attitude with 1/3 throttle to see if the model haven't bad habbits in the worse situation , stall was violent but the recovery was immediate (like the full scale !!!)
landing speed isn't very hight , a little more than a p51 CARF ,same as 1/5 fw190 sist but it's a larger model
today flying condition weren't very good ,crosswind up to 30 km/h , so i must do other flights to see more about the plane
flaps were set at 40° defflexion , when were used 5 or 6 "clics" of down trim must be added
i think it's a good plane , not the easiest warbird to fly due to his hight wing loading but it is stable , controls were efficients ....in comparison i have a bf 109 fiberclassics (2.5m , 21 kg ) : 109 is very difficult to fly and awfull on ground , i'm confidend with the FW and haven't be worried during the landing ; if you keep the engine running there is no reason to have a problem with the FW
no change needed on plans it fly without need of trims
just bought inzpan cockpit and will add a pilot for the next flights (don't like ghosts planes )
sorry no video of the flights , hope to do some next time
ps: i think with a moki it's possible to save weight as with a radial the engine weight is in front of the cowl
