RE: CA Model Epsilon 90 building thread!
Hey Betatester,
I think that was my favorite part. Building the muffler tunnel was fun. And it looks so cool. I just wish I had made the aft wall at about a 45 degree angle.
Linear rates? Goodness no, I use lots of exponential on everything I fly. Big throws for snaps but smooth in the center for cruising. I start out with 30 to 40 percent expo, work out the max throws I want, then play with the exponential until it feels right.
I'm still moving the CG back, it's really starting to wake up. I've got the battery right behind the wing now and the vertical dives are very close to dead on. With the changes it's starting to push just a little to the belly in knife edge. I'll probably more it aft a little more until verticals are exact and then use mixing to correct the push in KE.
I have lots more adjusting to do. I haven't gotten to fly since Monday. It's been raining and windy around here. Something about a hurricane hitting Texas. Luckily all we got was thunderstorms.
