RE: Pheonix Extra 330S 60-90 Size
Hey Maynard! Hows the other planes?
Skip1320:
I am uploading pics of my HS225's in the tail per your request.....
Looks like I left the RHS opening as is- covered- and framed up a servo mount below it to line up with the LHside.
The LH side opening has to be closed up a little, too for the HS225's- they are smaller than the std servo- I believe its called a mini size servo.
Knocked0.8 oz out o fthe tail using these HS225's vs the DS821's I had laying on the bench. I have been just fine with nylon geared HS225's on this light application.
Bought some Metal geared ones, but never needed them in >100 flights.
To reiterate Maynaordrupp's support of my suggestion: be prepared with spoilerons....
This thing don't land at normal speeds and tends to nose up as it slows down just before landing.
10mm (3/8") up on both ailerons above neutral and it pretty much lands like a trainer.
I only do landings without spoilerons when winds are below 5 knots.
As mentioned in an earlier post, some of this is because mine's tailheavy now for flat spins and KE, but I found this nose up even a problem at kit CG.
That being said, this is the first kit whose recommended CG was far enough back to have fun!
