RE: SUPER REAPER MAIDEN FLIGHT SOON NEED ADVISES
I have a Ram 750P which can put out 22lbs, but I am fly it on only 14lbs currently. My throws are setup in the following:
Canards: + 30mm / - 25mm
Aileron: + / - 20mm
Elevator: + / - 10mm
CG: 21.5"
Keep in mind I setup my Reaper like a Delta type jet with elevons too. I originally had the CG set to Mick's recommendation ( 530mm from the back) but it was very pitch sensitive. So I moved it forward to 21.5" from the back. Also, I add some downward thrust to the turbine which seems to also make it fly better at higher speeds.
For the first few landings I did do as Mick suggested and shut down the turbine after I was lined up and on final towards the runway. It does like to glide if the nose is not kept pointed up. Other then that, it flies great and you will love it!
