Hello Michel,
thanks for your answeres. And yes, I'm referring to crow mixing. I will try this to reduce the stall tendency of the outer wing panel. One question is left for me: How far do you deploy the flaps? On my Hawk maximum flap is about 30mm with an elevator mix of 15mm up.
These are the values SM mentioned for the old version and they work pretty fine.
Regards
Andreas
Hi Andreas, I used to have the old SM Hawk and the model was as steady as a rock around the circuit. In fact The model worked out slightly nose heavy without adding any tail weight, and I just left it that way. I also had the wing fences correctly set at 15 degrees. In this configuration and with a Wren Supersport for power, the model was a pure delight. It would do the book but You could haul it around the final turn with no suggestion of departure. I would suggest moving your CG forward just a little and try again.
BTW, I loved this model so much that when I lost it I tried to get another, but the old model was finished, and the new one would probably be underpowered with my SS engine becuase its quite a bit bigger. So I now have a FB Hawk, which appears to be exactly the same model.
Regards,
John
