RE: Demoiselle Plans?
Harvey, I like your statement about "throwing a Kleenex"... : ) The plans originally had the CG set at 19% and I had about 2 1/2 ponds of lead on the nose. I didn't like the idea so I moved it back to 25% and took a pound of lead off, hoped for the best on the test flight and all was great.
I want to move the CG back a little at a time to see if I can remove any more of that lead on the nose. When the throttle is chopped it goes into more of a nose dive than you can pull out of with full up elevator. Hopefully I can get a lighter nose and more responsive control by adjusting the weight.
Either way, it flys nice and I can make small changes as I go. Is a fun machine no matter. I fly and build a lot of "draggy" things...you are corrrect, it is what it is!
