Bart, what size engine do you run in yours?
Sledge, i'm using a J'EN 56 from justengines.
http://www.justengines.unseen.org/Jen_56.htm
(16.9 oz),Pulls it around nicely,
vertical is ok but not a rocket. fast enough for me until
i get bored probably. but all around a nice combo.
Moved the cg now 5/8 behind it's original loc and it's still a little nose heavy.
Pulls to the belly in knife edge and nose down inverted. i have the battery and
rec under the pilot, can't get any more aft cause there is the throttle servo.
1 1/4 flap with -21 % elevator.
one inch throw on ail, ele and rudder at high rates, low rates are 60%.
also mixed 25% up elevator to rudder, to hold knife edge better and actually use the rudder in
turns without falling out of the sky. usually fly high rates all the time except when landing.
i'm landing it allot since this is soo much fun. very predictable and stable even in crosswinds.
solved the visibility problem now by adding black & white trim and the decals. much better now.
last weekend a wing mounting block broke lose. caught it while i assembled, so no fly [&o]
used tristock all around and glued back with epoxy/ microballon mix. very strong now plus the
fuse sides don't bend in anymore.
i love the roll rate, keep it rolling and hold up/down ele to keep altitude and roll across the field.
again, rudder is useless here and gets me in trouble fast.
all around i like the plane[8D]
