Default RE: Fuel tank issue...

ORIGINAL: Kelly W

I had a bit of an issue with roll trim on mine, which may have simply been due to my choice in servos. It was tough to get it way out in a turn, since you couldn’t really trust it to behave as you’d expect in a turn... I’ve since installed a pair of way overkill HS 5945’s and the elevon hysteresis appears to be much less. Looking forward to getting it in the air again in a week or two.

Matt, any chance some of you guys can make the Whidbey Island meet? I know it’s a bit of a haul, but it sure would be nice to see more of the California crowd up in these parts. I hope there’s another stingray there this year, since recently Chris sold his. We flew them together (wide open for a bunch of it...) and his knees were shaking for the next 15 minutes!

Hi Kelly,

Sorry I missed this.

I have the SAME issue with roll trim, I cannot get it fixed. At first I though it was my thumbs but after 100 flights I know better. Of course chopping the tails off may have had something to do with it, who know, it flies well enough.

As for Whidbey I am not going but several of my frineds from Los Angeles are, it should be a pretty big turn out from down here.

Regards,
