Default RE: Uproar

Well flew the uproar again today. The added rudder did help, but she still is lacking some. I am going to have to put her aside for now because I have a Funtana 90 arf to complete, 140, katana arf to complete, and a 4 star 60 to install servos and engine. The owners of the planes are getting mad. The uproar is a fun little plane to fly. The mods are well worth the efforts. If I had it to do over I would add an inch to the rudder and take away some of the inside of the Elv so I would have more range. Of course I would have to enlarge the Elv too in some fashion.

OK, I was not drinking today and as far as I know I am not crazy, but this is hard for me to understand. At the field we put new batteries in the radar gun. I took the uproar up and she was showing from 67 to 74 MPH[X(]. I would guess around 55MPH. I took my funtana 40 up which has a 72 saito and was only doing around 54 to 59 MPH. I would guess around 65MPH. I would think that the smaller the plane the more the eye would suggest faster. O well I just thought you may find that interesting.

I am going to move the CG back and add little more elevons.
