Needing to refresh my memory Misc Help
After about 3 or so years out of the hobby I got back in this year and started the season flying my CG Extra 300 powered by a Magnum .91. I flew it several times before I even started working on my Seagull Edge 540 V2 powered by a Super Tigre 90.
This is my first arf, believe it or not after what would be 12 years in the hobby, and for a product of viet nam, I dont have many complaints with it.
Anyway, this has two servos for the elevator, one in each aileron, one for the rudder and of course one for the throttle. I have strictly flown JR, and my trusty PCM 8103dx was about to get put to the test for using its potential.
The ailerons are mixed to the flaps, no problem. I opted not to use a Y-harness, because in time I plan to explore the realms of 3D with this plane while I build a bigger model over the winter.
The Elevator on the other hand has me stumped. The servos face eachother, and if you look at the bottom of the fuselage, nose down, the servos look just opposite of one another, servo arm same location opposite side. I couldnt figure out why they rotated opposite directions when I pulled back on the stick... then i discovered that my wing type was set to STANDARD. So in I went, changed it to DELTA and there we have a winner, it went up and down like its supposed to.
For whatever the reason, I cleared the memory to start over from scratch, to have everything centered and ready to go so the initial flights/testing/trimming can be done with a good base. Whatever I did made the elevators not work right once I put the wing type back to delta. I can't find my owners manual to walk me through this so hopefully someone out there can give me some help getting this straightened out.
THE ENGINE: The engine was purchased off ebay, said little use, and I believe it. Almost no tarnish anywhere, clean insides, and well lubricated. IM having trouble picking a prop to fly it. I have an APC 14x4WIDE blade that I have intended to use, because i know that wont make the plane a rocket ship, just not for sure if that's the best for an 8 or 9lb airplane.
