RE: Ideas for eliminating tip stall, or undersireable wing drop upon stall.
Just a couple observations about your efforts with this modified Maverick as I have an unmodified EDF Maverick that is roughly 15 1/2 lbs RTF and has lasted me for quite a few years:<div>1) Leading edge droop - this actually was a BVM available mod for the Viper and Maverick during the nitro days with these models. More forgiving low speed handling with some sacrifice of top speed. I don't find it to be necessary.</div><div>2) Crow or aileron reflex - remember that unless you did a bigger mod than just extending the wingspan, the ailerons are really "mid-wing" (more so with extended tips) and don't extend to the tips. Thus the crow or reflex aileron still does not alter the effective AOA at the wingtip no matter what.</div><div>
</div><div>Mine has flown for years with good behavior when the CG is at the BVM recommended point, not forward and not aft. When I tried a more aft CG the stall behavior tended towards a pronounced wing tip drop.</div><div>-Mike</div><div>
