why into the garden??
coz it's hot and why not cut out the torn solar film there, also the UC snapped bolts, which wouldn't ******* undo so i taped a screwdriver in to try and make it stick so i can unscrew which just poped the ******* T bolt out which ****** me off, then as i had just got it back in the ******* wind picked up the ******* wing and bounced it of the **** bench which put a hole in the good wing without a ******* hole...
ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! and breathe
the further out on the arm you go the more load on the servo and the less torque you get.
flew perfect, and as i've gone back to 100% ( over 3D rates
) it isnt an issue.
tho......... 12.25x3.75 VS 13x4 12 hangs better, bit faster pick up, 13 was better for flying from point to point, and thrust in spins which pulled it round, also better in the climb. tho it was lumpy and bumpy in the air today, need more flight time to find out for sure, Choppy reckoned the 13x4 might be laging slighty now, but the West 50 takes ages to break in, and it'll get better, better?!!!!! YER BABY!!!
12x6 still to try
philly... if you had long grass then you should not have attempted to harrier it... at this size the model gets an urge of forward speed just before it hits the deck.... what did you expect ?
well.... to land..
the grass has just been cut, and i mean 5 mins before i landed, i came down with hardly any forward speed thanks to the wind ( pevisious harriers aimed off patch due to backwards flight!!! ), which is unlike most landings, so i don't think it was any forward surge that did it, just the decent rate which is much higher than normal landing even tho it was pretty slow. more throttle pulled the nose up, tail landing bad... less elevator gave forward speed, not a harrier.
leasson learnt, won't land from harrier again. no wonder Ali didn't like it before lol
plus point from today, i was told mine flys much nicer than Malcs, much more direct and connected. John also got a go, and i had him doing low KE for the camera within a few passes, he got a bit crossed up after a low stall turn and the snappy low speed pull out but he liked it overall.
when John had the camera i had some damn low and slow KE, almost hover at one point. i can't do that!!!!!! oh.. it's the plane making me look good lol
Unlucky with your prang, but good to see you pushing the envelope
i tried some low hanging too for the camera, can't quite get it, felt like not enough elevator, but it's a very diffrent plane from the Cougar, will have to adapt what i know already. Cougars too easy
