RE: JAS-39 Gripen Owners/Build Thread
Hello guys,
A buddy of mine is flying a JetLegend JAS-39 Gripen.
On the gripen, the canards come with a built in angle into their shaft that holds them. this means they could be installed in either an anhedral or dihedral angle.
Anyway, since there was no manual with the model - he installed them in an anhedral position and this is how it was flying until now. Note: model flys fine, but it does have a slight instability on the roll axis, which we contributed to the rather short wing span.
He found lately that the original full scale gripen uses dihedral angle in the canards, and changed his over as well.
My question is - what kind of change in flight characteristics could we anticipate when going from anhedral to dihedral on the canards ?
thanks.
