Wizzbang,

The way I learned to go into a flat spin upright was to bring her up high
Chop the throttle
and apply Left rudder slightly and slight up elevator to start the spin
then I add right aileron slowly until its at full the same with the rudder only left,
then added more elevator to the decent I was looking to have, she spins forever everytime. I'm balanced around 4.75

I say slowly on the sticks but its actually just a nice smooth transition for all sticks until all throws are at full, it happens pretty quickly.

Inverted is the same thing only down elevator imputs, Now I can just pretty much flat spin anytime without having to go to the high climb, once you feel how she locks in, you'll have no problems.

Lawdawg The only way to know the balance is to balance her, I don't have a PNP, or that motor so I wouldn't really know, If you don't have a balancing device, just take the ol fingers on the wings center spar close to the fuse and see how she feels, you should be able to tell if its nose or tail heavy, you can also tell by how it lands and performs, If you have great control and she settles in for a landing real nice all the time your probably nose heavy, (not a bad thing) but if she is real snappy in the sky and seems to want to jump in the air when your trying to land,, Its probably perfect for 3D. If your coming in for a landing bleeding off speed and the tail just drops straight down and falls from the sky then crumbles your toy to particals, it may be a little too tail heavy. [&o]

Cody,, Awesome Job !! You get a 5 out of 5 Waldo Smiles for rebuilding and gluing. and it looks fantastic.

Pit-viper When ever possible I try never to add weights to any model, I will cut out compartments and move batteries receivers or whatever before I throw extra weight in the plane, But sometimes you have no choice. I added a mini bottle of Budweizer once to the nose of a Kadet, God I was praying not to crash that day, I wouldn't have wanted to be brought up on alcholol abuse charges. And I can hold a pretty good hover balanced at 4.75 although I wish I could get my CG around 5.00 but that would require me adding weight, or cutting a compartment even furthur back then I already did, but I'm very happy with the performance I'm getting. Now I just need 25,000 more hours of practice. Which I'm most willing to apply.

Hey all you other T_ _ _ T buddies Its been a little while I've been very busy, But I still have flown Every single Saturday Rain or shine since we started this season except 1 because we had to play a gig early one afternoon on Saturday.

I'm still trying to get someone to film my T_ _ _ T flight so I can post it, Maybe this weekend, I have lots of T_ _ _ T footage but its all bits and pieces I'm trying to get it all into 1 movie
or have someone just film the whole flight, Unfortuneatly 1 mini flight is about 600 MGB with my camera, you tube only allows 100 per flick, so I'm working on keeping quality and getting more time out of it, I lower the pixels but then all the quality is crap, My camera takes the movies in .MOV format, I think I need to get something that records in .AVI

I'll figure it out, Meanwhile,, Lets see some of EVERYBODYS flights COME ON !!!! [>:]
