Default RE: VELOX.. Build thread with Photo's..

Extract from my build thread on JMA website...



.........having flown the model quite a lot now and having moved the CG back 5mm (now 5mm aft of the C/L of the wing anti-rotation pin), reduced the full-flap travel and corresponding elevator compensation trim, I flew the model twice again yesterday to check out the latest changes and am happy with how it feels and performs. The set-up I have settled on is:

CG - 5mm aft of the C/L of the wing anti-rotation pin
Aileron movement - 14mm each way (measured at the tip - no expo...gives the very soft aileron I like)
Elevator Movement - 30mm each way (12% expo)
Rudder movement - 25mm each way (measured at the top - no expo)
Flap travel (measured at outb'd flap/inb'd aileron position):

Take-off: 20mm with 9mm up elevator trim mixed in
Full-flap: 35mm with 11mm elevator trim mixed in

(so that means there's 20mm up elevator trim required with full flap travel)


Happy New Year!
