Hi
I have got my Angel together and I tried balancing it tonight. I has the standard motor ESC set up and TP 3875mAH pack on board as far back as I can get it . I cant seem to get the thing to balance at the recommended point of 145 mm back from the leading edge. This is my first mid wing type plane and I am trying to balance it upright. What if anything am I doing wrong?
Mike
Ps I agree with everything that has been said about this plane. It has been an absolute pleasure to build and is the best ARTF I have ever assembled. If this plane flies half as good as it is reported to do I will be getting it's bigger brother ( Wind 110) over the winter.
Hi Mike . .
I am amazed you can't get the CG. I am using a 5S 3700mAh pack which weighs about 470g and the back of the pack sits right where the inner engine box / doubler finishes. The pack is basically half into the cowl and half back into the canopy/hatch area. I fit a 650mAh LiPo flight pack between the 5S and the wing tube with "daylight" each side !
Did you use the standard spinner? A heavier after-market spinner could cause issues.
Mike, what is the weight of your pack?
PS. The plane is a JOY to fly. I have flown a few 50 and 90 size planes and this is better than any of them. Order the WIND 110E with confidence.
Cheers, JB
