When I first flew my Carf Hawk last year I had a few bumpy landings to start with even on atarmac runway but it never dropped a wing on approach.

Over the winter months I made some changes including movingthe CG back as It was dropping its nose a bit in banked turns and needed a lot of down elevator to fly inverted.

I have a scale cockpit (skymaster) and 1/5th pilot and the canopy /frame interior and pilot weigh 1 kilo so I have notneeded any nose weight never the less I have moved one of my rx packs (2 cell 3600 lipo) back from next to the nose legg to just in front of the tank bulhead (about 600mm 24 inches) I have also mixed in a small amount of crow (6 mm at inside line of aileron) with full flap and this has helped no end on landing approach.

The advantage as far as I see it is that with a small amount of crow you have in effect washout, so this will prolong any tip stalling at low speed.

With the outer wing (aileron section) now at a negative attitude compared to the main wing the sink rate is greater and much more like my Flash to land.

Bouncy landings are really becausewe tend toland too fast andthe plane wants to carry on flying, With crow on the Hawk once she is down she sticks so I am very pleased with this

set up.

On sunday I flew my Hawk at Wroughton and had a chance to try out another mod I have made which is fitting a Futaba GYA 351 gyro to rudder and nose leg steering.

All seemed well and I had the Gyro rate turned down to only about 40% with no hunting untill I started the turbine (jetcat 120SX) and the rudder was oscillating like mad

So I turned the gain down to zero and flew with no problems.

I had the gyro fitted next to the Jetcat ECU so I wonder if there was any RF from the ECU that was upsetting the Gyro?

Anyone had similar problems as I have not yet had chance to move the gyro away from the ECU with the turbine is running.
