Default RE: Black Magic v2 builder's thread! *Updated*

Ray i won't be at Columbus. Typical Memorial day weekend for me. Engine quit on the Tojeiro just after takeoff. ripped the bottom of the plane out. should be back together by the weekend. hopefully. Engine quit on the Black Magic just after takeoff. Luckily landed on the runway and just rolled into the weeds. No damage except for the tailwheel. Should be a 2-minute fix.

As far as how it's flying. So far it does some things better than the Tojeiro. Does'nt really snap or spin. I think i may not have enough elevator and rudder throw. I have to much throw on the ailerons. for my taste anyway. Right now i don't have any mixing in it. But i think the incedences may be off. it pulls toward the canopy on the uplines. pretty much goes straight down on the down line.

The incedences have me confused. I tried to set the wing to the canopy cut out. but depending on where i am in the canopy cut out. i'm talking 1/2 degree positive. move it and 0 degrees move it to another spot 1/2 degree negative. so i am lost there.
