RE: Help! De Havilland Sea Vernom - Tip stall
The Sea Venom has a very distinctive wash out of 3 ° ! This is not the problem.
If the model is heavier than 10 kilos, you have to take care about landing speed and angle of attack.The full size Sea Venom has tail bumpers under the fin that restrict the possible AOA.When you have the model on the ground and press down the tail until it touches the ground - you see the maximum AOA that was possible for a deck landing. That is not much. The Sea venom was not designed for high AOA landings. Slowing down the plane was not made by lifting the nose, they used the air brakes at that time.
With 12 kilos of weight you have to land faster and avoid high AOS`s.
Another point to look after is checking if there is a trim change at high and low throttle settings.If yes, the angle of the jet pipe needs to be adjusted.The Sea Venom is really nasty if this angle is not correct and if a wrong thrust vector misleads the modeller to correct with trims or ballast.
