Flying it??? Whazzat?
Humor, Jack...have to smile or we'll cry, no?? I have to say that after covering the ailerons, the diag ribs I added seemed to add a great deal of stiffness. Mounted up, with radio on, there is very little twist, and CERTAINLY no more than my pattern airplanes and the GP Pitts, so I'm feeling okay with what I have.
Putting the final colors on the cowl, then the motor will arrive next week, (Taurus T-52), and she'll be ready. I have all the radio stuff complete; used CF rods with 4-40 ball links EVERYWHERE, and the controls are sure solid. JR 8231's on Elevators, the high-torque GMS servos (2 bb, metal-geared, 110 in/oz coreless) on the ailerons, and a JR 8411 on the rudder.
The all up weight - 15.2 lbs on digital scales. Should be interesting.
Hope SOMEBODY gets to fly one of these with the aileron mods soon....I DON'T "believe" in the dual-aileron configuration.
