RE: Tiger 60 Build Thread
dlan, I like to use the flight trimming method for determining right thrust needed. Get the plane assembled
and when you install the engine set it a little to the right like Michel said (not too much as reducing thrust
is harder than adding it). Just make sure you can see the crankshaft pointing a bit to the right. Finish the plane
and maiden. After you have trimmed all the surfaces for level flight go to full throttle and pull a 45 degree
upward climb. You will have to do this test a few times and make sure the wings are level when you pull.
If the plane pulls to the left you need to increase right thrust if it pulls right you can decrease right thrust.
You are alooking to get a nice straight line. Easiest way to do this is flying the plane away from you.
Because of the higher torque engine you may need a bit more thrust than 2 degrees. If you just can't seem
to get the thrust right and you are using a CPU radio you can dial in a throttle to rudder mix that will add some right
or left rudder for you while throttling up. but getting a good straight plane before adding mixes is always better.
