RE: Test Fly KMP's P-38
I have read some of the input about the KMP P-38. I am wondering tho' where you located the CG. I understand that it was originally 128mm and the latest update I got was 96mm.
I crashed my P-38 today.......... usind the 96 mm CG instructions. It leapt of the ground with very little up elevator to rotate. Pushing full nose down, got the airplane level, but torque twisted the plane towards inverted. With full nose down elevator basically had no effect, because I was already at stall speed, due to the violent lift off. I had only about 10 feet of alt. Of course down elevator had no effect because I was already at stall speed. This all happened in about 4-5 secs. Question........... has anyone had any success flying this airplane........ if so... what was the CG you used?
