Default RE: unknown plane

Nope not even close to the U-Can-Do. Compare the wing control surfaces and wing airfoil...

It looks like a nice semi-pattern plane with a big "3D" type elevator.

Are you going electric or fuel burning?


When I have an "unknown" plane like this, I'll set the C.G. about 25% of the wing chord, and the throws to all I can get without binding.

Then I'll set low rates to give me about 18-20 degrees with 30% or more expo and high rates to everything I can get (without binding) and 50% expo.

I'll fly the plane and if things seem too touchy, I'll dial travel down.

Given the large size of the elevator, keep your low rates toned down or the plane will be twitchy.
