RE: Typhoon 2000 (TEMPEST) modifications thread
ACCKKK!!!! No not 1 degree. .1 degree! As in 1/10th of one degree!
If you put a full degree of positive in this plane, you'll hate life. It'll enter an upright spin like glass, but it will have a WICKED pull to the canopy in a downline. Mine are .1 degree and the downlines are good but you really have to time the spin break correctly. It's all a trade off, but I'd much rather have it this way because the plane trims out easier. I do have a little positive incidence in the stab at this point, but couldn't tell you exactly how much. I'd suggest starting at 0 and tweak slowly from there during flight trimming. And only after the CG is established.
Nice pics Siggi, keep them coming! I'm interested to see how that technique turns out, because one day way down the road I'll be playing with electric power and I'm going to need every lightening technique I can find. That one looks neat, keep us posted.
Yes you need to move the ply braces for the adjusters forward about 1/4". Set the adjusters close to the bottom of the travel in front and top of travel in the rear, with about 3 threads left at .1 deg pos. This will allow you to dial down to absolute 0 or up to over 1/2 degree pos.
