Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

Re: Sensitive

The roll rates mimic what I have on my plane. It's quite quick on the rolls, and it tends to surprise everyone at our field when I hit full deflection... I get a lot of "WOW!"'s.

Re: Spoileron.

That's aready there.

Turn the knob to the right and the "spoilerons" ( actually it's an "inverted flap" ) come up.

I have the knob set to raise them the same amount I have on my plane.

Re: Takeoff

Yup...

For some reason G3 seems to accelerate the planes far too quickly on runup. I typically lower throttle response time to make takeoffs a bit slower.

Speedwise the model is close to what I've been observing at the field.


Remember that the .55 does pretty well on this plane.

The .75's and .76's are effectively UNDER PROPPED with the 11x7's and 11x8's so maximum HP is not being attained, whereas with the .55 you are in the ball part. The .55 ends up in it's optimal rpm range.
