Default RE: limbo dancer- TRANSFORMED

recommended range is 90mm-110mm

i've currently got mine at 130mm! [X(]

well...was at 130, shes now at 140mm!! lol


just measured how far back from the main spar is and shes 2 and 1/4 inches!!! [X(]

ok im either a really good flyer or.....god knows! can anyone think of any possible excuses? lol


AsM, get your CG point about 1.5 inches behind the spar and try flying her like that.

A WARNING WHEN TRYING THIS THOUGH!!!

on saturday, after moving the CG back a lot furthur than previously, at one point i completely stalled the whole wing out, i pulled up too fast after diving with throttle at idle, she started falling very quickly and i only just cleared the ground by about 1 foot when i flicked the throttle up. The way things are going i should be able to get it back to 2.5inches-3 inches before shes too unstable to fly.

I've got an MDS .38 on her new carb version swinging an 11-3 with no spinner. She'll harrier like a piece o' pi*$. I've never done a harrier in my life before saturday and it does it no problem, then again though my CG point is vvveeerrrrryyyy far back lol. Didn't try prop hanging that saturday though, engine was a bit on the iffy side, transition was horrible but fuel is quite old so was going off i think. Good luck to everyone flying limbo dancers anyway, she really is a fantastic fun fly, i'm gonna modify mine shortly though. I'm replacing the elevator with a much bigger control surface and i might split it in half and put in an extra servo so i can mix it in with ailerons and have a really crazy roll rate!!!

by the way, anyone know what the aerobatic is called when you put in full roll to either left or right and feed in full opposite rudder, whatever its called it doesn't half make the limbo dancer spin!! No one at the club can keep up with it, i can a little bit but its hard to do so. hmmm....might even enlarge the control surfaces of the ailerons too!
