Default RE: Let's See Your SlowPokes

Hi John
This airplane has only two flights so it is in setting process. In the first flight was a little bit nose heavy and I was not using exponential settings. That first flight was very unpleasant. The airplane went up and down like a roller coster. I made two or three approaches to landing. Finally the wheels touched land but at that moment the engine stops while the airplane climb again. With no engine and at 3 meters of the ground the airplane falls down. The cone hits the ground, Sylvester gets ejected
(that was a funny moment) but nothing, nothing happened to the structure. Even the propeller was in one piece!!!
I made the settings on the radio and de CG so the second flight was more relaxed. You can fly this airplane really slow and make very shut turns and loops.
With the correct setting of the CG landing is very soft. And remember to use exponential settings.


regards

Marcos
