RE: Venus 40 balancing question
kmtranmd: I've got the Magnum broken in now, and you're right, it's a screamer. What size propeller should I go with? Right now I have a 11x7.
I did turn on the flaperon, but I have never used it before so I probably will try it out a little later. When I experimented with it on the ground, I felt it was hard to twist the little knob such that both the ailerons would be centered again. Is this not a concern since you only use flaperons upon landing and can reset it before taking it up again? I'm using a Futaba 6XAs radio.
Everything should be ready now. I've set up the dual rates and correct throws, balanced the propeller, balanced the bird itself..., and broken in the Magnum. Hopefully we'll get some nice weather next week so that I can maiden it.
