Some replies in this forum are a bit *pause to think* off.
Thanks for the tipe Tedmo!
She was my first warbird. Got her beginning of last year. She isn't my last.
JB: The best way to reduce the landing speed (and most importantly the rollout) is provide basically 'negative' flaps that will change the airflow around the wing so that there's less lift? Seems counterproductive to me. I don't dive at the runway. U just got to angle it so that when/where you come out of the turn on final and the point you touch, you'll fly over the bush midway. You'll come close to the bush though.
I think my engine idles right. It won't move the plane forward at idle on an almost concrete surface. A little higher idle then what's required to keep running. I think I'll try reducing the idle.
Once I got the throttle stuck and she flew for 25 minutes. The deadstick was still pretty fast. Much easier then deadsticking my trainer.
I have a, umm, grey 10x8 prop. I was thinking of trying a 10x9 to get more speed. Grubber? What's a grubber?
I was looking for some setup tips, preflight tips on that subject. Most here say not to use them. I understand well the use of flaps. I've never used them on a model.
I think I'll reduce the trottle a little and the flaperons to half what they are and see how she handles.
I've only used flaperons a few times. The first time I hardly noticed a change in flight characteristics. The second time I think was messed up cuz of a setup error. Hopefully I get it right this time.
Cheers all!
