RE: ROO c.g.
btw
roo hops happen from still being above flying speed.... the roo glides as well as any bird there is ( which isnt good ) and makes approaches tuff where as you have to guess where to cut your throatle " way out there "...as she comes in ....usually to fast...you say oh shi$ and slam her down too quickly in which she just pops right back where she was ( aka kangaroo hop )...as she is not done flying yet..the best thing on a roo is a BIG speed brake that is 90 degrees ...this will help her slow down....and even allow you to add a little to hold her up ...try it....get her in the pattern..cut your throatle out there at 25 feet high...when she finally starts to sink add touch of throatle until you know you will hit the 2 wire ....and get off it ( still not over the runway as if your over the runway your too late as she is too fast )
always put your brakes on your snap button....the slider will make you fumble to much
NEVER EVER PUT YOUR BRAKES ON THE DOWN ELEVATOR...she will wheel barrow ( as any delta wing plane ) and any cross wind will lift the windward wheel and you will be heading off the runway in a second or two...it took 56 eventful landings to figure that out!!!
