woohoo, she flys! bit more stable than the smaller one, climbs well enough, and the turns arent so bad now (though a right hand turn causes it to lose some altitude). she cruises along at a pretty good pace, at one point i had it high enough that i made a hard left turn, and she rolled over and looped! AUW is now at 7.8 grams, i'll try to get some video. nice design, Neurotex...you know if you dont enter this into the foam plate cook off, i'm going to have to, right?
Congrats micro, fantastic job!
Sure, by all means enter it in the cook off. You've made it into the air while I'm
still on the board.
Making the bridge adjustable is the way to go since I've noticed on the larger version
with the spoiler the bridge flap causes fluttering. With the flap down for lift it causes
air turbulance over the spoiler, and the plane rocks up & down. Having the bridge set
at an angle like you described is enough for smooth flight, even with the spoiler, it flys
nice.
