Hi All,
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?
best wishes
Dave
I had to add a few clicks of up trim with the cg. I also have no mix for a straight KE flight. I have to use down elevator for inverted flight, but I would say normal for a pattern ship. If it wasn't for the up trim I would have a straight downline, but then I would need a KE mix, oh well.
It is good to see that everyone with this plane is having a good experience. I wish they could make an inexpensive 2m plane with all would construction.
The manual recommends 6% elevator mix for KE, which to me seems that if you have up trim you have it built in already, therefore good KE and, hence down needed for inverted, this may be a thrust line issue rather than an incidence problem IMO.
