RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
Finally finished my Integral . .
Fitted with JR and OS160FX on Hyde mount and nose ring, with Perry VP-30 and Hatori Header / Aeroslave Carbon pipe . . Great combination. No need to use full throttle on verticals . . it actually accelerates ! ! Ample power.
Maidened it on Saturday before the start of our 2 day Pattern comp, but had pump trouble (so flew the Impact). Fitted a new pump Saturday night and flew it for the last 3 rounds on Sunday, as I was VERY happy with it.
Finished a close 3rd in F3A . . and now has a total of 5 flights on it. Great start I think ??
Needs a throttle curve . . 2 or 3% down to low throttle, slight softening of the ailerons (expo or travel?) . . not sure about KE Coupling or thrust yet . . but feels really good (managed a solid KE figure '8' on it's second flight).
GREAT plane ! !
Cheers, JB
