midwest extra elevator
 

hi,

my friend going to test flight his new midwest extra 300xs.

we heared from friends that we need to be real careful with the elevator or it will snap roll or roll.

what i need to do to prevent this?

thanx.

Less Throw. Find out what point its going to snap. Fly it with very low rates the first time.

how much do you think we should use for low rate?

by the way, my model don't have counter balance on the elevator, is it relevant for this problem?

RE: midwest extra elevator
 

I would go by the manual, Just set it up for low rates and just feel it in the air. dont get crazy with it untill youve got some altitude to recover. If it dosnt snap, flip your high rates on and test it again...

ok, we will try this.

my other question, counter balance are relevant for this problem? i don't have them.

I personaly dont see any reason why you would use them...
