Hi All,
I just test flew my Angel..What an immense model!
I'm running the standard/recommended motor, APC 16x10E, ESC and a 6s Flightpower EVOLITE V2, 4270Mah battery. 8.30 minutes flying time.
Strange thing i notice despite Knife edge being almost perfect and the c of g at (or very near where its supposed to be ..145mm or on the fuselage cross brace).. i need to hold a little down elevator in inverted flight..Does anyone else have this?
The model also pulls slightly to the left on uplines... I have since found the lateral balance on my model was very left wing heavy..so put 7 grams of lead in the right hand wing, just need some nice weather to get more flights in.
I fly all the straight and level stuff at half power but find the throttle "not as linear" as a YS powered ship, i don't know maybe it is just the motor is so quiet and only audible at 2/3 power upwards...Has anyone else noticed this? I flew a friends Angel and it was exactly the same.
I also found the model to fly at a very constant airspeed also both in up and down lines.
Another oddity is of the two EVOLITE packs i have..One pack weighs 650 grams the other 620grams? Maybe the electrons in one pack are heavier than the others electrons!!!!!
It was nice taking just a model, TX and batteries in the TX case to the field, no fuel, starting equipment or cleaning wrags!

best wishes
Dave
