Default RE: Long ez 46 engine mounting question.

My canard fit into the fuselage very well I didn't make any adjustments. I have a slighty drooped elevator as trimmed for level flight. You are right as we cannot scale down air molecules therefor we as modelers have to make concessions with wing and airfoil design. I have found that this model flys quite like the full scale. If slowed down and held at high angle of attack the canard will stop flying and the nose will drop and the plane will recover and fly on. I have yet to really have it try and enter a spin, It just lowers the nose and keeps flying. Of course I'm not trying to spin it as there is no rudders to stop the spinning. maybe the ailerons will do the trick too. I just havent tried to spin it, It does however fly inverted really well. It rolls pretty straight too and fast if the ailerons are set to a large throw. Tis really a nice little airplane on the wing. I had a flyby video posted here a few weeks ago, it may still be there listed in the members video as "LongEZ flyby" Dronepilot how many flights you have on your LongEZ now?
