Thanks guys. Makes a human bean feel right at home.
I know what you mean about the elev throws. I have a couple of planes that just love to snap in a roll on full rates w/no expo. "Extra 300."
Going to set low rates below recommended throws for the first few flights plus add enough expo to ease my maiden madness.
My Spit weighs in at 11lbs. Slightly more fueled up. And the 91FX w/Pitts muffler was tweeked by an expert. Starts up first time everytime and pulls that big old warbird around faster than I care to fly. Should be enough grunt for me.
Have you managed to come up with a system for landing that could help my first flights ?
Balloons and wants to stay in the air eh ? LOL !!!! That's great !! Much better than a 30mph landing . So this plane would do harriers with the right wind conditions , etc ? How was the 20 mistake high hovering ? I might have missed some of this info and need to go back and read this thread from start to finish again. Was just too excited about it all after reading the first few posts.
