RE: Skymaster Gripen with scale features
Hi Johan:
Here's some unsolicited advice on test flights with the Gripen. First, I would avoid doing any experimental stuff with the canards untill you have completed a few flights.( I think the main gear are mounted a little to far back, which increases the takeoff run, mine uses 425ft). Second, set the CG at 140mm and use the skymaster control throws with some exponential. 3rd, set about 7clicks of up trim in the landing pattern, this makes it very easy to see if the model's approach speed is too high. A Gripen with the nose level on approach is flying much faster than it needs to be(although it will land like this, the soft main gear struts take a beating). I can land and stop mine in 300ft with mininal braking.
