Default RE: Albatros DVa

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It flew quite well after the CG got set right. WAyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much power. I used a pair of Rimfire 28-22 1350's with Electrifly SS8 speed controls turning 8-3.8 APC props( It is mostly depron). The first flight was scary as I wasn't ready for all that power and I punched it to get in the air and boy did it ever. Landed after one circuit of the U I Armoury to catch my breath. After that all went well and I tweaked the CG. Still a tad nose heavy so tomorrow I will try a slightly smaller battery. The 1-1/2 hour reference was how long I had to wait till I could cut out of work and go fly. Hopefully Dave S will get some in flight shots tomorrow
