RE: Sky Master Hawk Maiden
Hey Kevin:
I´m Jose, from Spain. Sorry for my bad English. Last saturday i went to my field with the idea of testing all in my Hawk ran well. But when i start my JetCat P120 and was sure all was ok, cannot resist to try to fly her. All that happened was exactly your case. She took off and when i try to turn right had no response of the elevator. It was very difficult to me to pilot the plane where i wanted she goes, and with many problems i could land her. Thanks to god!. I´ve been thinking about what could be the cause of this behavior, and i think the problem was that she was very nose heavy, because probable the c.g. isn´t 180mm back to the front of the wing. Also i think the setup is incorrect and the elevator must have more deflection. More than 40-50mm. I have a Hitec Servo with 9.6 Kgs. of power and i´m going to change for one with more power.
If you have another consideration i want to hear it.
Thanks and congratulations for your first flight.
