Default RE: First Kit Laser Arrow

PigMan,


altough i didn't instal a retracted on my arrow, I plan to modify one with fixed gear in a near future.
this mod will certainly REDUCE the fly behaviours and top speed of the plane, but I want to try it

Altough I will do that I won't recomand it, heavy mods will be necessary on the structure.

A stock .45 arrow will leave your hands without you need to launch it. Simply put the plane over your head by holding it by the skid and release it with the plane in a straight forward attitude or slightly nose up

I will give you the flight controls throw I use for each phase of flight, don't use those given by the book for take off, the plane will be really too sensitive and respond too fast !

don't forget to install your servo BEFORE gluing the servo mounting plates, I recomand that you go with two elevons only setup if your radio support elevon mixing
