Default RE: Show us your Beaver!

Hiya Randy,

Well I finally flew it... Day was a bit crappy but.

Had it all balanced at the 80mm from LE mark ( no fuel, of course ) and throws as manual, running a Saito 180 four stroke with a MAS Classic 18x8 prop.

Flight was a little disappointing apart from the quick take-off, Engine way more powerful than was needed as only 1/2 throttle used. The turns needed heaps of rudder and she climbed like an elevator with more throttle on.

Think I need more ( 2mm thick washer ) down thrust to fix the power up, plane go up trimmings

About the turns... I definately will be adding some aileron - rudder mixing, and do you guys think aileron differential would help too???

What do you guys think??

Cheers,
Paul
