Default RE: Seagull Ultimate 46 Wing Incidence

One thing I should mention BoiseBee. I purchased mine from the local hobby shop, walked in it was hanging from the ceiling. About 3 or flights near new 46 fx swinging a 12 x 3.75 apc prop. As I explained to the better half $ 300 aud complete I couldn't buy and buid for that so I just had to buy it. Any ways if you look at the first photo you will notice the landing gear is swept back. I fly off grass and I found that I needed high rates on the elevator to keep it nosing over on take offs and landings. It made it quite hairy on take offs as it would leap off the strip.
I changed the set up by turning the landing gear around so it was swept forward made a huge differance on both take off's and landings, no more high rates. Now because I did not do the build I don't know if the swept back is stannard set up, and it will depend on your strip...............hope this helps
