RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread
I'm happy for ya Wendell! ATTA BOY!!!!
Dang 2 years, I didn't know that? Well cool, and you've built a 2 and a 3 successfully? Ok so they aren't quite a Dean Funk Paint job, but who cares...the real question, is how does it fly?
I was just dialing and tweaking on mine yesterday and I hit that "oh my GOD" zone where everything just locks solid and it's like a flying laser beam. It's actually pretty cool, as even when the 3's are out of adjustment, they STILL fly pretty darned good LOL
But if there's something that doesn't look quite right, then something is off. If it's hard to land something is DEFINITELY off.
When this plane is tuned, up and down lines are perfect, rolls are perfect, and snaps are perfect....except for the 45 down which tends to need some throw adjusting. I have no idea why that one manuever seems to want different throws than anything else. But it does. On your "box" condition you can snap cleanly everywhere...uplines, downlines, inverted, upright, knife egde, everything....and you'll have to work at the 45 down a bit for whatever reason. 45 down negative is like butter. 45 down 1 snap is butter. but 1 1/2 45 down.....ya have to take some rudder out. A lot of rudder out.
