Default RE: JD Enterprise Lavi - test flight problems

That was not a stall, it was clearly a commanded extreme nose pitch down. Either he had way too much canadr throw as he stated, or some linkage broke, or a servo went hard over, etc.

I would think that for normal flight, the aft edge of the canard should move maybe 10mm up and down - no more, probably less - until you get it up and away and can test its effectiveness at altitude...
