Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

After moving the CG back I still wasn't able to flatten out my spins either upright or inverted. So i put longer arms on the elevator servos to give them a little more advantage. The surfaces almost pull perpendicular. Not quite but....

You can feel the difference. I have to reduce the dual rates a bit to help landings. The Do will flatten out much better now. I don't have enough power for a rising flat spin but I can hold an inverted spin pretty much until I run out of gas. As a matter of fact, I was about 30 feet in a slowing climb I pushed it over and I ran out of gas! [X(] I kept the dive to get some speed up and pulled back a bit to level out and dead stick to the runway. With the new throws and me a tad paniced the Do just flattened out into an elevator. The left wing dropped into the wind, I nosed down, got some speed, got the the plane level yanked full back just in time to flatten out into earth.

I was meaning to reinforce the landing gear anyway. That's all that broke, just the gear. There is really not much holding them on.

I thought I flamed out but back at the pit the tank was bone dry. I guess it's a bit more fun to fly now and I lost track of time.
