RE: Raising stall speed?
Obviously there is flaw in flying technique. These are students. It is thier airplane (not the clubs). I personally, can land it perfectly regaurdless of conditions but I am trying to find a way to make this design fly better. If it were me, (and it is not), I would not have bought the hunk of garbage in the first place. Too bad prospective pilots do not talk to actual experienced pilots before being led astray by hobby shops.
Bax, you are very correct in that most RC pilots land too fast. Almost everyone at my club is guilty of this. That is one of the things I am trying to teach. You are also very correct in learning about the planes slow speed characteristics up high. Especially with high performance aircraft. I am going to try some spoiler\stall strips just to see what happens, but I am not going to go too far. If they want a better flying airplane they will have to spring for a better design like a Kadet.
