Default RE: seagull laser 200

Bob - Loaded up the Laser 200 this AM and headed to the field. Got it stuck together and asked one of the "good" pilots to give it it's maiden flight.

According to Tom, the pilot, "A good flying airplane".

Did have one problem. Get it trimmed flying in one direction - do a 180 and out of trim. Made no difference which way it went. When we got it on the ground did an extensive check and came to conclusion servos in the wing were not centering or had a lot of slop. They were standard servos and I don't know how many crashes they have been through.

Will get that under control shortly. Went to the local hobby shop and purchased two 635 Hitec servos. They are high torque with the new karbonite gears in them.

As I mentioned in another message I moved the CG back to 2 inches from the leading edge wing tip. Seemed to be ok. Plane flew inverted with very little down required.

Anxious to get it going and will do my own thing next go around.

Good Luck with yours - Harc
