hi
i didnt mean to start this war of words ,i build this plane 10 years ago flew her until a bad landing and tore out the landing gear blocks put her away and she was always a hand full need a lot of rudder to keep her running down the runway straight the old guy who was teahing me how to fly her always took her off for me now 10 years later my two sons are flying with me on large trainers and great planes rv-4s we do add rudder in on take off on all the birds we fly but not as much as the chipmunk needs she flys great once in the air but she needs to have a little more speed on landing as u see in the video she stall just before the landing but a great save by my oldest son i am using a 12x7 ap prop 1 st prop that OS said to use on the OS 61 fx heres a video of her on her 3 flight my son said the same thing i have to learn to use the rudder more as she is more manuverable then the rv-4s we have ,thanks for the help guys,rye
