RE: Input Needed on TDL Model Systems Extra 330L
It did go well. THe only problem I had was loosing my landing gear (main) on the last flight. I put too short of screws in it and they loosened then fell out. It still flew pretty good without the gear. My cg was set at 4 3/8" for the first flights, and the saito 100 is a very nice match for this plane. It will hover the plane just under half throttle. I think this plane is the best bargain out there. At $125, I really like it.
Foaming the landing gear area was a good choice. When I came in without my main landing gear, I killed my motor to save my prop and this plane just kept floating in. It eventually caught some wind that pushed it down pretty hard and you could tell the bottom gear area was tough. There was no damage, and it all is in good shape.
My saito ran quite well. I only had one deadstick and that was at about 800 feet. I just finished climbing up to start a flat spin. It had a very nice glide and I landed it very good. I then leaned out the low needle and it is running better. A couple of more flights and I should have the saito dialed in and will mount my cowl and spinner.
I'll see if I can get some more pictures up in a day or two.
