Extra 300 Wing Snap
 

Hi all I have a Goldberg Extra 300 which will not snap it's wing even at low low speeds, on the other hand I have a Ohio 84 inch Extra 300 which will snap violently at the same speed.
Both Extra's have the same airfoil ?
Any advice on how to correct this.
Thanks Rcpete

Wing loading
 

My Ohio 84" Extra had a pretty hight wing loading with a gas engine. I thought the plane built way heavier than they said it should. Mine also snapped really well(or bad) depending on how you look at it :D . Landings were a thrill for sure. The snapping finally got the best of it on a dead stick landing. I think Ohio designed the plane with a very scale size(small) stab and elevator, the stab just did'nt seem to have enough control over the wings angle of attack.

Pete,
Careful for what you ask. "Snapping" can "take" your model
very quickly.
"If" you want to go in that direction: start (slowly)
increasing control deflection, and (slowly) begin to move the
C.G. to the rear.
You will need: aileron, rudder, and elevator at the same
time to snap. "purists" leave out the ailerons...
Too soon you will have a "snappppa-haaappy" model, that may
well get you into trouble on slow landing approaches, or,
especially "dead-stick" landings....

Snap
 

Masked Pilot, please read the whole thread, I asked how to correct a unwanted snap, example the wing stalls,the plane falls to the ground, not what you want.
Thanks Rcpete

SNAPPY
 

Well , i read the thread like MASKED PILOT , and it sounded like you wanted a more lively airplane and i can relate with that, I myself like a snappy bird :D

I have to admit...
 

I thought you were trying to get the Goldberg to snap, too.
Read your post back to yourself, and think of it from the point of view of aerobatics nuts :D

It's all just a matter of perspective.
To some of us, the non-snapping plane is the one that needs correction.

To reduce snapping try:

Spoileron mixing. Ailerons go up slightly when the elevator goes up (creates a little washout)

Reduce elevator travel.

Check wing for warps or flaws in the leading edge.

Try slightly nose heavy CG

If possible reduce weight
