Default RE: SPADSTICK QUESTION


ORIGINAL: A6TEXAN

finally flew the aircraft today. excellent flights. only 2 clicks of down elevator trim and 1 click right aileron and she flew hands off. had a funny tail waggle that i didnt like though. could have just been the windy day. i find out on a calm day.
Congrats. on the maiden flight !!! The tail waggle wasn't flutter was it ? With the bigger engine and prop wash produced, I've found out that flutter can be a problem. Try stiffening up the stablizer and vertical fin with bamboo skewers for extra support.
