I spent a little time with the Pulse tonight making some adjustments. I assumed I had "covered" a warp into the wing. Turns out the wing is straight to less than a 1/4 degree. I'm calling that close enough for the moment. I reshrunk the ailerons so they exactly matched the wing tips and root. They were slightly off I looked very closely at the elevators and found the wire joiner was not holding the elevator halves level. Some major twisting and hoping like heck I didn't break something had them level. It took a tad bit of heat to align the tip of the offending elevator as I did "level" that tip when I recovered the plane last winter. The CG is right on spec at 2 3/4 from the leading edge of the wing, so I can play with that a bit. I increased the aileron travel as it was kind of lazy in the roll. I think that is some of my diving issue is, I was waiting for the plane to be inverted before feeding in some down elevator. I need to work in my rudder skills! Still the CG will most likely change. The airframe is almost over powered with the YS63 on the nose. I kind of wish my YS 53 hadn't taken a crap. That was a near perfect match for the airframe.

At first I thought making adjustments to the Pulse would be an exercise in futility. "Why "waste" time on something that is far from precision"? After giving it some thought I decided it doesn't matter the airframe, it all translates to a better flying plane and what I learn here will work on a future pattern plane!!

I almost forgot. I have a Hitec A9 TX. I don't know all the capabilities but I know it has enough mixes to take care of what I need.

A new re-maiden tomorrow night
