Default RE: VQ Me 109 E Build Thread

Maiden flight report: The OS 50 SX has an easy game to pull the Emil in the sky. Tail lifts after 10 ft. After giving her 2 seconds more to build up speed, the whole plane lifts right up in the air. The 109 reacts promptly to the sticks. First flight with 35% differential on the ailerons which will unable the plane to quickly roll. On second flight I removed the differential on the ailerons and dialed 25% rudder in to support the turns. Now she manoveurs!

As I predicted the greatest disadvantage are the retracts. Although mine would retract on standing, the airflow prevent mine from retracting. I am running on a 6V receiver battery. Also, the mechanical retracts became wobbly but will withstand the landing forces. I am working on a air retracts solution.

Landing is easy. She flows right in on idle. Just like a low wing trainer.

No video this time. Can't control the sticks and the fumbly video at once. Will post a vid later.
