Default RE: Composite ARF Tucano Build

Ditto, very sorry to hear about your crash.

I now have 4 flights on my Tucano and all is well. I moved the factory c of g forward by 15 mm and the plane has a nice tail up flying attitude. I needed 4 mm of down elevator compensation with full flap and about half that with first flap. On my last flight the engine revved up to 166500 and the prop (Biela 24x12 turbo prop) maxed at 7500 rpm. All my ECU settings are still the JC factory ones.

Great plane, definately a keeper. Just wish CARF would improve their quality control, provide more ARTF for the price and get improved landing gear units.

Cheers,

Jan
