Default RE: Heckler 3D

Ray,

I gave it a work out today. It's a little nose heavy so the flat spins weren't much. It does a really nice harrier and elevator into the wind with spoilers. I am using a GMS .47 with an APC 11.5-4 and didn't notice any hint ot flutter. The ailerons aren't as wide as many planes.

Saturday night I put the decals on (photo) and some 2-56 bracing rods on the underside of the stab. It could use the tail weight and there isn't much area back there to glue to.

Earlier this afternoon, after flying, I turned the engine on its side. Replaced the stock mount with a Great Planes adjustable mount. The tank is pretty low with the engine upright. The side mount meant I couldn't use the stock narrow gear so I replaced it with the KrazyLegs gear you said you used on your Magic. I slid it slightly to one side and it cleared the muffler. Photo.

I also moved the rudder servo to the rear in front of the fin.
