LOOKS LIKE THIS THREAD IS DYING, I HAVENT LOOKED AT IT SINCE MY LAST REPLY IN OCTOBER AND NOTHING NEW IS IN IT!
I HAVENT FLOWN FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS DUE TO CRASHING OR DAMAGING EVERYTHING. I GOT THE FIRST FLIGHTS IN TODAY ON U-CAN-DO #2, WHAT A DIFFERENCE A SECOND PLANE CAN MAKE!!!!! THIS ONE HARRIERS NO PROBLEM AT ALL AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE DIFFERENCES ARE. BOTH OF THEM HOVERED EASY BUT THE DIFFERENCE IN A HARRIER IS REMARKABLE. THE NEW ONE IS 1/2 LB. LIGHTER WITH OS108 AND THE CG IS NOT AS FAR BACK AS THE OLD ONE-ITS SET TO 5.5 IN. BACK WITH THE FUEL TANK OVER CG.THE ONLY MOD THAT IS DIFFERENT IS THE AIL/FLAP THROW, I BEVELED THE TOP OF WING TRAILING EDGES FOR 55-60% UP THROW(FOR UP-RIGHT HARRIERS). I DIDNT USE THE MAXIMUM THROW ON THE FIRST FLIGHTS AND IT STILL HARRIERD OK,WHEN I MIXED IN MAXIMUM UP-THROW THIS THING HARRIERS GREAT,VERY HIGH ALPHA,PROBABLY OVER 45% AND SO SLOW-LOOKS REALLY COOL. iT HOVERS WELL AND STILL DOES THAT VERY HIGH ALPHA KE HARRIER THAT I LOVE DOING,GOES SOOOO SLOW IN THAT ATTITUDE AND IS STEARABLE BEST IF I USE THAT ELEV-FLAP MIX(UP ELEV TO UP FLAPS)
I DISCOVERED A TRICKY WAY TO GET THE MAXIMUM AVAILABLE UP-SPOILERONS MIXED TO ELEVATOR FOR HARRIERS. IF I JUST USED ELEV-FLAP MIXING ALONE, THE FUTABA 9C ONLY HAS A MIX % OF 100%,IT LEAVES A LOT OF AVAILABLE UP-THROW, NOT HIGH ENOUGH FOR MY LIKING SO I ADDED IN 2 MORE P-MIXES TO THE SAME SWITCH, I USED OFSET TO AIL&FLAP(HAVE TO HAVE LINK OFF OR YOU GET AIL DIFFERENTIAL). WHAT THIS DOES IS START OUT WITH SPOILERONS OFSET UP BEFORE YOU APPLY ANY ELEVATOR, THEN WHEN YOU PULL UP, THE ELEV-FLAP MIX KICKS IN AND YOU GET VERY HIGH DEFLECTION ON SPOILERONS.ITS COOL TO BE ABLE TO ASSIGN SO MANY MIXES TO A SWITCH,IVE HAD THE RADIO FOR A YEAR NOW AND STILL HAVE FOUND THINGS THAT I CAN INVENT WITH IT. I MIGHT NEED A RADIO WITH MORE MIXES!!!!!HAVE ALMOST USED THEM ALL UP ON THE 9C!!!!!!!!
