Default RE: Original Taurus Plans Question

ORIGINAL: pimmnz

Really, the equipment we have don't change the force set up of the airplane, only the weight it has to carry and the power available 'on tap'. Stick with the original set up, same size engine and weight, and the thing will be just fine.
Evan.

That's too simple for me, I want to adjust the plane for pattern to win, this is Classic Pattern Flying.
For long times I do use my own methods for all my planes depending of the model and design.
But for who is interested, I recently did find this article of Jim Kirkland and that's clear in RCU language.

I think on nearly any continent we all use the same simular methods for trying to fly in the world championships!

You can find it on RCU Classic Pattern Flying: Classic Pattern Plane Image-base of casniffer, thanks, great job!

(for side thrust fine adjustment, Jim did use top of the loops, so full thrust with relative low speed! On top of page two last colom.)
