ORIGINAL: Keith wiv a 29yr old OS
Maidened mine today with a YS63FZS 13x5 prop and 20% nitro. Still running engine in but it will punch out of the hover no sweat. Flies a treat on the medium throws as recommended in the manual with some expo dialed in. Responsive but not twitchy. Set up with a forward c of g from the recommondations gives no wing rock in harrier type manoeuvre and good knife edge without any peculiar coupling. Dead slow roll on landings a treat. Buy one, a bargain.
Adjusted my rudder and elevator for more travel and flew today. My rudder is way to sensitive now and a KE is difficult. I added two mixes for KE and will test tomorrow. I got a little pilot induced wing rock in harrier flight but spoilerons definitely helped stabilize that maneuver. Landings at the rearward cg are beautiful tail low idle on approach at walking speed. I ordered more props to try, but the 12-6 apc is doing fine. I snagged the rh counterbalance on a downwind dead stick landing today, so I'm gonna have a little more orange transparent covering on the bird. Still learning all the tricks of both the plane and my eclipse 7 radio.
