Default RE: Cap - Grrrrr

Well unfortunately I only got one flight in today since I lost my muffler. I did get a full flight in though.. I wasn't even aware the muffler fell off till I couldn't get it to idle down and sounded a bit odd

I moved the CG back before the flight after talking to Tom last week on the phone. Now it flies with just a touch of El inverted. The need for down el. still hasn't changed and at his point I really don't think it will change. I did work on my mixes a bit and it improved the KN obviously.. but the tranisition into the roll is still a bit sloppy since there is so much down EL. The thing is my mixes are basically making the el. neutral for KE which if I didn't have all the down needed to level flight would prob mean there would be very little needed to mix for KE normally.

I didn't really spend too much time looking at how it flew.. I just wanted to get a first flight out of the way. With no muffler it was grounded the rest of the day so hopefully next weekend I will get some more time on it.


I did however get some nice pics I forgot to show the bottom though...
