The rain went away this afternoon and I had a chance to fly the Wright flyer, with the changes that I made. 8-cells, fix the elevator control horns so they would stay is sink, C/A'd the horns to the rod. So airborn it goes with lots of power, but very poor climb out, even with the new battery pack! It would not gain any altitude,seemed to be in a stall mode most of the flite. Yesterday after some triming and patients it did fly pretty good,but not today? After a hard landing,with a fence post, the lower canard wing was bent and needed some repairs,also the plastic wing support guild on both sides of the lower wing where broken, all repairable. But most of all I was disappointed in its flite performance. I'm looking over the plane and I see the trim settings that are still on the airplane, there is about 3/8 of an in. of canard up,to keep the nose down,whats up with that...then I see that the motors are at the bottom of their thrust adjustment, or lots of forward up-thrust, maybe thats the problem of flying in such a stall attitude..I wonder where the thrust line is suppose to be? I didn"t see anything about it in the construction book! I thought that it was a c/g problem, but maybe not. Anyways I'll study this plane some more... and reset the thrust line on the motors and see what happens tomorrow. E-Jim
