Default RE: Modified Hotspot

Norberto: Yes, this is the one, and let us know how ´s your Storm doing.

Thanks Delgato: I used a P-80 in the last one and probably will use it again on this... believe me as even this plane is big, you don´t need more than 20 pounds of thrust on it!

Ledd40: Indeed.. Hotspots are great, and this one with the elevator is good too, but less "nervous" (?) or better said, easier and more majestic.. hope to post a decent video of it flying as soon as I could.

Roger: Check the CG at 7 inches measured in the leading edge from the wing root, and if you have at least 35mm on full up elevator. This should make the HS rotate as quick as it could no matter what landing gear issues you may have. Also don´t hesitate pulling up energically the HS at takeoff rotation.. it will not drop a wing or overrotate. About the spring you may cut one turn or two from them for flying as soon as possible while you search for stiffer springs.
