Default RE: Defiant Model 74 Flight problems

Wil,

Sorry to hear about the radio problems...May I suggest that the reciever crystal may be messed up from the previous crash. It may save some frustration to purchase a new crystal to see if it clears up any radio issues. The crystals don't hold up well to shock.

A couple of questions as mine is ready for another CG/flight test!

What was the magic CG point you used for your successful flight, was it 2" from leading edge of main wing?
What degrees of throw are you using for the canard/elevator?
How long was the takeoff roll and what field surface did you takeoff from(grass/asphalt)?

This is good news to hear that the plane actually flew!
