Default RE: need help with spacewalker 2

I take it this is your first taildragger. You will need to feed in a little right rudder as you build up speed on your takeoff run. Once you get the hang of it, you will never want to go back to a nose wheeled plane.

2/16" on the ailerons? That's only 1/8 of an inch. I don't own that plane, but still it doesn't sound like enough. Anyone else have this any experience with this plane? I usually set up my servos for as much movement as possible at 100% throws, then tune them down with the radio to just above recommended low rates for the maiden. Maybe you could ask someone at your club to give you a few hands on pointers. It's always a good idea to have a friend at your side for a maiden, that way if you find your hands full they can help with the trims. Good luck!!
