RE: Douglas DC-7
Hi Guys; am glad for the response I do have the plans on autocad but until I solve the pitch stability problem the plane is too dangerous. I hope the shorter nose length of the DC4 will solve the problem. I understand the scale jet airliners in europe are having this problem they seem to offer no solutions for this, Do you guys have any ideas. I am convinced the CG is not the problem as I moved it to less than 20% for flights 3-5 . I am using scale tail surfaces which look large enough and are about 4' wide I do not want to enlarge out of scale ( might as well build an extra if we can't have scale) Have some earlier construction photos ( how do you attach to posts) have the fuse mostly done tail surfaces finished and fiberglassed am presently building stronger landing gears as the robarts I used on the DC7 were not strong enough ( robart said they would not work in reverse and they were right) IDEAS ON PITCH PLEASE John
