Default Giant Aeromaster Help

Craig, I think that you will find this to be a very easy airplane to fly. It doesn't have any bad habits. It was designed many years ago by Lou Andrews and he really knew what he was doing. The guys who bumped the design up to the giant size version also did a great job.

I recommend that you look at my post above on the wing incidence modification. If you've been flying RC for a while you shouldn't have a problem.

Now I need help with a pesky problem on the GA. No matter how I tighten the bottom wing on the wing saddle I have a problem with a sleight charing of the wing where it meets the wing saddle. This is caused by vibration. This is near the main spar area. I tried using 3/8" wide by 1/4" thick foam tape on the wing saddle but all this did was destroy the tape. I next tried Automotive GOOP (similar to Zap-A-Dap-A-Goo) on the wing saddle. This seems to be an improvement but is not the total fix. I think that there needs to be a plywood piece in the wing which would extend up into the fuselage and come in contact with the fuselage sides. This would prevent the side to side motion. The four nylon screws which hold the wing on don't prevent this motion. Maybe a dowel pin would help. How bout some thoughts on this.
