Default RE: Funtana 90 Snapping ?

********rocks, put the wings on but leave the canopy off. Measure the former by the wing tube and mark its center point (form side to side). Wrap a piece of string around the formare at the mark and lift. Repeat several times. If a wing is always low add a little weight to the light wing tip.

Take 2 small light STRAIGHT rods about one foot long. Tape them to the elevator halves so they almost meet behind the rudder forming a V. They must be taped securely and remain flat to the elevator half. Turn the raio and plane on. If they don't meet point to point behind the rudder then start adjusting linkage. Pull full up elevator. Did they track the same and end up at the same point? May need to make some adjustments. Push full down elevator. Did the rod tips track together and end up at the same place?


That said, if you try and use too much elevator on too tight a loop, even with a good setup you can make the plane snap out.
