RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?
I flew it again today with an APC 10x7 prop, flew much better, but still keeps pitching up as you angle the nose up. For instance, it just lifted off the ground on takeoff, did not "jump" into the air. I do have a positive angle as it sits on the gear, so if I build up enough speed, it lifts off by itself. As I climb out, I have to hold down elevator to keep the climb angle the same, or else it keeps pointing skyward (till it snaps).
I had an aborted landing (sudden 20 MPH wind, happens in the mountains on occasion), and as I was climbing out near stall speed, I has holding almost full down just to keep the nose halfway level to build up speed. Then, the motor quit as I was coming around the downwind leg. I got it down, but practically had to hold full up elevator to land. Definately bumps up the heartrate a bit [X(]
