Default RE: Predator 500 Problems

And it flies... I gave up on measuring the incidence. Every way I tried it came out even. So I made a SWAG about how much to shim and I was almost right. I still need a bit of down trim. But just a bit.

Now that I'm able to fly it a bit I realized that I need either dual rates or expo on the elevator. I'd been flying a DD and realize that I've been in the habit of adding up elevator on the turns. At full throttle just a touch of up really causes the plane to climb.

Not I just need to learn to land an airplane shaped airplane. I'm not used to landing anything with wheels. I could put the DD down right at my feet. I'm lucky to get this plane on the runway. I think I'll put some soft wheels on it for now.

My thanks to everyone for the help.
