Great Stuff!!!
The part I hate about mixes it that they show up in bads places usually at a different point in the sequence. I'm finding that out with my DeJaVu. Flies P great! This plane hates the F sequence!!! The rear CG and the mixes have up the work load and I hated it.
I've been in some great discussion with Bryan on the issue and some of my own thoughts. I'm hoping to test in the next few days. Bottum line to get the C/G were I needed it. I moved the wing back 1 1/4 inch. This is all on the plane that I won the NATS with last year. It was great for Masters, but doesn't like the demands of F3A. So yes I'm making changes to make the plane fly better. Moving the wing may sound crazy, but aren't we all crazy in our own way!! LOL
I was at 33-35% MAC. Now I'm in the 20-25% MAC.
Tony I do remember the bipe you flew in '89 Team Trails. That was my first Team Selection. I remember watching all the mixes in that plane while you were preparing for your flight. That was crazy, but it worked.
Rick,
I've got Joe's Envision he bought from me and he wanted to try a set of passport wings on it. I just slipped them on at the current wingtube spot and had to open the front slot forward a bolt hole and make new rear sockets for the adjusters. With the T, and the cg about 1" in front of the tube (I think), it groves through F pretty good. I'm going to make a tray extension to move the pack forward more (hanging 1.5" off the front of the tray) to get the cg a bit more forward. Now if I can land with more than 10% left in my pack I wouldn't have to worry so much about my packs.
