RE: Black Magic v2 builder's thread! *Updated*
Hi All,
Had my first really good practice day today with my new V2.2 - About 9 flights - spent most of the day trimming and I ended up with no rud-elevator mix at all 0-0. So it looks like Mike's V2.2 mods are spot on and really close to perfect. Now I am sure I might need 1 or 2 percent here or there, but it's a huge difference from the V1 proto where I was up at around 15% mix.
Now I didn't have my two Gurus out with me but the plane was flying so sweet. When I get out with Mike and Jim I. we will get it fully tweaked. but for now all I can say is she is flying great. the new rudder is extremely efficient with no noticeable pitch coupling. Knife edge is very neutral. oh, and what an awesome day here in atlanta mid 70's pretty blue sky with little clouds a perfect pattern day.
cheers all,
dean
