RE: Ziroli P-38-- SUCCESSFUL Maiden!!-CG Question
Ok Guys-GREAT News-Three successful flights yesterday. What a GREAT flying aircraft. This one's a keeper for sure. The most realistic takeoffs I've ever flown.
For the record, I left her balanced as I had it, that is, slightly nose down with Glennis wheels in UP postion. CG seemed spot on. Twin G-62's provided MORE than ample power. Full flap landings were un-eventful, with about 1/8" of down programmed in on the 10X. Started out with 4 or 5 clicks or ail. trim (nervous pilot) and ended up back in neutral by the third flight.
Many Thanks to my crew chief and partner on this project, Billy Skipper-He has put many hours in the plane and burnt the midnight oil countless nights-it would not have happened if it were'nt for him.
The pics are in my buddy's digicam-Will post later today hopefully. Thanks again to everyone. RCU is a wealth of info and an asset to modelers.
