RE: Cleaning up the snaps with a Pitts
CJ,
Thanks for all the info. I have about 8 full flights, that count anyway, on this bipe so far and slowly becoming more comfortable. I am still balancing laterally but the cg is about where you describe on yours. The plane doesn't float but its not a bear on landings either. The elevator is still a tad to much for sport flying. As for the ailerons they are set with a good pattern roll rate for the lows and unfortunately thats 80%. I should have looked closer at the size when I built the thing and lengthened them.
For 3-d I don't think it will fly well. I have a played with it in a harrier position and it is a hand full on wing rock. It will do a nice tight loop (outside waterfall size) when pulling out of a inverted flat spin to an attempted torque roll (I am new at 3-d flying) but will not do a waterfall from torque roll or harrier or slow flight.
Spins well name them it does them, knife edge seem to be the best. The flats are very loose so I am attempting to tighten them up.
I haven't started with mixing (never liked to in the past) yet but will, and the expo is definitely going to take time as will differential.
Thanks again
