RE: AMR Trainer 26
It Flies.....and returned home in one piece! 4 flights on the T-26 today. Not exactly ideal conditions for a maiden on a trainer plane either. Winds were at 12mph with gusting to 20+ mph. But at least the wind was coming straight down the runway. First flight it seemed to fly like it was tail heavy some. For the 2nd flight, a friend and long time builder showed up at the field and watched the plane. He indicated that it appeared to him that the motor thrust angle was off, needing more down thrust. I installed 2 washers behind the top mounts and it was much better. I also had him check my cg and it was fine. 3rd flight and the motor needed some more down thrust and I was out of the washers I needed. 4th flight was to get the flaps/elevator dialed in. When I got home I adjusted the down thrust some more and hopefully get out tomorrow morning and try it again. Motor had plenty of power on a 10s 5000mah, with a 20 x 8 prop. Tomorrow I'm going to try a 18 x 8 prop.lumpy
