RE: Kyosho Osmose 70, Sort of build thread (slow..)
In post # 92, Thinn stated " found that however much I altered the CG, the plane still dove drastically inverted. Trying to fix this by altering the wing incidence a bit." I also am following this build thread and recently purchased an Omose 70. After reading Thinn's post, I thought I'd ask around to see if anyone else had encountered this issue. Surely pattern style aircraft try to keep this to an absolute minium. My old Super Kaos flies as well inverted as it does canopy up. I can tolerate a "very" slight push on the elevator while inverted, but any more than "very slight" may make me move on to another plane besides the Osmose. That was the sole reason for looking for clarifcation on particular issue.
It also seems unamious form reading these post that there is very minimal coupling while in Knife edge (a great sign). I agree that "bigger" flies better, but building a neutral flying, precision pattern stlye aircraft isnt limited to 2M size planes. There are those of us who simply desire a simple to transport, precision plane in a smaller size, with the correct flying characteristis. I hope this Osmose fits that bill!
