Phoenix Atlantis ARF Pattern Plane
Hi Richard,
Well, flew the Atlantis for the first time this morning, really floated a long way on landing. Needed 30 gms of lead in tail to get the CG back 146mm from the leading edge, not game to push CG any further back, already scary enough on landing. The pushrods seem ok, no flutter and pretty firm - I strengthened with some support half way down the fuse. Set up flaps thorugh my radio but they didn't seem to make any difference when deployed. I will get the camera out and post some photos.
A couple of questions you might be able to help with:
1. A fair bit of vibration throught the wings, I haven't put in any wing padding between the wing and fuse as there doesn't seem to be much space. Have you put any in? Do your wheel mounts vibrate?
2. I mounted the engine without changing the thrust line set up by Phoenix. Have you changed yours at all?
Rgds,
Simon
