RE: RichModels Works LTC ARF's
Good advice Jim, I also notided you balanced yours with a full tank. I did mine with an empty tank so that would make you nose heavy compared to you. That may explain some of the trim differences. Mine is about 1/16 down from the neutral position. Anyway it seems that it may be forgiving if balanced a little off the shown spot. I was unaware that RichModels was playing around with incidence on the EZ model. If set up as a full scale you would want the canard set at a postion to stall before the main wing, so as to lower the wing back to flying positon. This would I guess mean the canard would appear to be slightly positive compared to the wing. If I were to draw a line through the cord line with the elevator in a slightly down position this would be a true statement But hey the instructions that come with this model are a good set of pictures and that is about it. Lucky that the model is so forgiving to balance or we would all be cussing this plane now. I know that when I retract the nose gear the CG does shift some. I have not retracted the nose gear in flight yet so cant say if it changes the trim. Word Paint drawing may explain below.
