Default RE: RichModels Works LTC ARF's

The CG was set according to the plans. I do admit the throws were not all that they could have been. The engine was brand new and it was my first 4 stroke. I put it in another airplane last night and ran it some more and then played with the mixture. I found that I was running it way to rich with two full turns open. After leaning it out some, the thing really pulls hard.

I do know that the canard was set correct as I've flown canard planes before. The surface moves down when you want to climb and goes up when you want to descend.

I will coordinate my turns with some more mixing of rudder with ailerons. This will definately help the turns.

I ordered another one of these ARFS as they are very well built and I like the Quickie design. In fact I was looking at buying a real one with a 2100cc VW engine. It was called the Dragonfly.
