wow

i just saw this now

i was coming here to give you all an update.


i did make adjustements based on this meter, and i wish now that i had read this before today.

run down:

in past few weeks, i was able to move all servos, radio equipment, etc... as far forward as possible.

i re did CG, so it is more anterior.

i used the incidence meter, and felt that the right wing had increased incidence relative to the left wing, so i made an adjustment whereby the fuselage seat for the wing on the right would be higher on right side, to make incidence more even with both wings, which it was, based in incidence meter.

so, today, went to field,

cranked the Saito FG 36, beautiful sound.

warmed it up, revved it up, going strong, turning 18 X 8 master airscrew prop 7900 rpm.


then, got it on runway, and plane took off, no problems.


immediately, i noticed plane was flying much better than first flight, and it was not tail heavy any longer.

however, as i flew it, i t had a tendency to roll to the left.


i was basically flying plane with right aileron, to keep plane level.

i tried to trim aileron and rudder, but nothing worked

i just brought plane home, had a bit of a rough landing, and ripped landing gear off.

no damage to wings, tail, or nose.

this can be fixed easily,

however, i am still perplexed as to unusual flight characteristics of this plane.

it wants to roll to left.

any advice.


right now, i am feeling to glue landing gear on, and hang plane from my garage, since it is pretty to look at.<br type="_moz" />
