RE: landing the switchback
Unprof,
Glad to read of your successful maiden and that you are enjoying the Switchback. I found early on that the plane does land easier with a little throttle and ease it down till just above touchdown and flair and cut power. I do get long runouts up her when flying of the asphalt due to the thin air and higher landing speeds. I have glued the landing gear in my Dandy GT after major crash damage and it has not come loose since. The Swithback has never been a problem landing and I have bouced it pretty good a few times in my earlier landings. The only effect was that the gear would pitch to one side as the bolt would allow. Just straighten out and retighten the bolt. Now that I have her on skis she does come down a little faster and does require a little more power to control her decsent, but the runouts are shorter on the snow. If your interested we should get together and fly our Switchback's sometime. I think I'm the only electri flyer here in S. Lake Tahoe except my 14 daughter who flies also. I just put a Himax Brushless setuo in mine yesterday but its snowing so haven't tried it out yet. I sure love my Switchback and hope you enjoy many flights with her.
HAPPY FLYING!!!
