ORIGINAL: m4x pow3r
I flew my Harrier .46 for the first time last weekend. With a Saito .82, no wheel pants, no spinner and the rx & rx pack in the back of the compartment my cg is at 160mm.
The test flight went good. It does do a good harrier. Knife edge wasn't great. The only problem I'm having is the canopy bolts falling out and the canopy rattling. I think I have that fixed now and look forward to trying it again this weekend.
I tried the recommended throws and couldn't get a good waterfall. Going to try the elevator at 45 degrees and see what happens.
I had the same problem with the screws coming out with my thumbing Saito 82. I used plumpers tape and it stopped them coming out for a while. Few days ago I flew it and when I was up high the canopy came right off and landed in one piece about 20 feet in front of me. Needless to say that finished my flying for the day as I had no spare bolts
I think I may put a piece of carbon tube right the way through and use split pins on each end to secure?
