Looks awesome Ryan, those Harriers are looking rock solid, now try some inverted heh.
Yeah, the harrier action seemed incredible stable. Mine rocks the wings a bunch but I just fly through it. It must be a cg issue cause I know mine is somewhere in the front of the range still. And from what Ryan's been saying his is at the back a bit.


Currently my servos are maxed out for aileron travel - I have the 1" H9 arms and they don't give me as much throw as the phenolic arms would. I'm not worried about it though, for right now the plane flies great in 3D and I am getting it dialed in a little better for sequences.
It's amazing how effective the ailerons are. You definetly don't need much throw for 3D.
There is a guy that flies the same plane in our area and won Intermediate in the last contest.
I took a look at his elevator linkages and I was amazed how small of available throw he had.
He said he had 9.5 degrees on the high rates and about 6!! on low! He said he was using the low rate for snaps!! He doesn't fly 3D but his numbers gave me an idea where the elevator throw should be for sequences. I have about 20 on my low rate now[8D]
