ORIGINAL: Turbocharge
Zaney1,
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, we have a short runway, approx 400 X 40 ft. I will take your advice on the takeoff but on the landing I may have trouble. I don't have speed brakes. Should I fly anyway or install them first? How important are they? Is the Ram 1000 going to be too much power? Thanks for your advice and assistance.
you have
serious power my roo RAM 750 is off in 300 feet or less. on take off I hold the brakes as the turbine spools up then release the brakes. once your up gear up throttle back to 1/2
INSTALL the SPEED BRAKE make sure you get 90 degrees of rotation out of it. I have JR DS-8411 servo to operate it. (at least 100oz metal gear servo hitek HS-5645 will do the job)
the roo will fly slow you just have to wait for it to burn off speed, the RAM 1000 has a bit more residual thrust than a 750. landing hold the nose off after the mains are down. it will settle in if you let it drop then it will hop hop hop
have a roo pilot as your spotter / time keeper / (co-pilot )
