RE: Nitroplanes.com
drone pilot,
Thanks for the set-up info; that sure will help on the first flight. Mine is coming in at 5.5 lbs with a Thunder Tiger .46 PRO. How much does yours weigh in, and did you have a problem with adding a lot of nose weight for balance?
If I do this right, there should be a PIX below showing the 3/16 I had to hog out to get the canard straight with the main wing.[>:] Yikes!
Good thing I dry-fit everything before I epoxied! As I said, the "instructions" could be dangerous.. to your sanity!
I used to fly a CRESSLINE StarChaser canard-pusher. As I remember, it didn't need a long takeoff roll. But the decalage was OPPOSITE of this Nitro Long EZ. On the StarChaser, the main wing was set at 0 degrees incidence and the canard wing at positive 2 degrees. On the Nitro, the main wing is positive 2.5 and the canard is zero. Perhaps this is the reason for the long takeoff roll??? Any aerodynamics experts out there who can provide an opinion on this?
