G'day John. You are absolutely right. Dutch rolled all over the place. Crashed twice but it seems to be a tough little fellow. I might have to put the prop on backwards or decompress the engine a lot. It is certainly unstable at about 90% power.

This one has been modified by Col from Wombat. He has divided the horizontal stab into two and made half into elevators and he has increased the size of the vertical stab and cut it in half too. The original Airsail surfaces are really small. I have another one with a small electric in it and it flies OK but it is barely under control and has a huge rate of sink. I tried packing the leading edge of the wing up but I suspect I need to pack it up even more.

Is your club in a large paddock with some transmitter towers in the distance near Mitchell and Watson? My son lives in Watson and we dropped in when I was in Canberra one Sunday but there was only one bloke left playing with a large electric conversion of a pattern ship. I must call in again some time when I am in Canberra again. If you came to the Diesel Day in Cowra last year I was there selling some of my PAWs.
