I initially set it up for minimum mechanical throw. In close at the servo and way out at the horn. The elevator and the rudder did not
have enough travel so I ended up moving the elevator one hole in at the horn and two holes in at the rudder horn. There are four horn holes total. The d/r low rates were 70% aileron; 100% elevator; 102% rudder. hi rates were max 125% all three. The only thing I would change if I rebuild it would be to increase the d/r low rate for the aileron to say 80% as it was a little too easy for a newby and the roll rate was very sloooooooow. About 180 degrees in 2 seconds. On takeoff does torque steer go right or left?
It must have tip stalled because it happened so fast. I would have thought that differential aileron travel would have reduced tip
stall. I have enough repairable pieces to put together another big stik 40 but my heart is just not in it. I got a Sig Kadet Senior
that arrived Thursday and I think I will put that together with an OS 55 AX. To practice slow flight will require going back to a buddy
box because I don't have the skills to recover from a spin. I have tip stalled a Cessna 150, 100% scale, with 40 degree flaps at 6000 AGL and it scared the H or S out of me. Thanks for all the responses in just a few hours. You guys are greeeeeaaat. On a go around less than full throttle, hold elevator and an earlier decision. The fast decision is the hard part because it seems things are happening at the plane a lot faster than the brain is working.
