Thank you for your response, Kevin.I used to build and fly C/L back then when I was in middle school (2003-2005).
It was mostly sport flying, without doing any stunts.
Fast forward to the end of 2021, I decided to start building C/L plane and fly again.
After two months of building, I’ve finally finished my SIG Banshee.
*Note: I did cut the nose back 1.5 inch as suggested, other parts are box stock.
I put:
- OS LA-S 40 (currently remote NVA) — I’m planning to move the NVA to the venturi
- Muffler-pressured
- Du-Bro 4oz plastic RC clunk tank
- APC 11x4 prop
- Byron 5% Nitro 20% oil (50:50 castor & synthetic blend)
- 0.015 x 60 lines
Anyway, I just did my maiden flight last weekend, and it was horrible at the beginning because I put too much tail weight. It was like a roller-coaster.
After rebalancing the plane, although it was still a bit nose heavy, the plane flew much better, more stable, and it was easier to control.
Since I only have one C/L plane at the moment, I don’t want to risk my plane and rush trying any stunt attempts without any certainty that my plane is capable of doing the stunts.
That's why I asked the questions above.
Thank you!
