Hi Guys. I FINALLY finished mt DP Extra ARC. It ended up at 16 Lbs 1 Oz using the BME 50 and 1400/1100 battery packs. I did not spend alot of time trying to lighten it and built it exactly per the instruction book. I assume it will fly just fine at that weight. It is balancing around 5 3/4 with no weight added. I figure I will fly it here and move the Rx battery back until I like it.
Here is my question. I am at the point of setting it up. DP calls for 0-0-0 incidence. I figured the wings do not adjust so I will set the stabs to the wings. The problem I am having is that the wings at the root are 1 1/2 degree different and about 3 deg different at the tip. I guess this means that they are misadjusted and warped. I know I can not do much about the twist, but should I saw off the locator blocks in the fuse and realign the roots? And if so, what do I use as my datum. Is it safe to assume the firewall is set at zero. Any help will be appreciated. I will try to post pics later. Thanks in advance, cbk
