Art-Tech Euro Fighter 2000 problems
Iwas wondering if someone could help me find the source of some problems Iam having with my new plane... Ihave some experience flying prop trainers but the EDF is a totally different animal. Here is what happened... After assembly of the plane Ichecked the CG (tried to place forward of the spot in the manual but seemed to take a lot of weight to do so) and controls. Iadjusted the throw on the horns to increase movement of the ailerons/elevators because it seemed unresponsive on previous attempts to take off. Anyway, I pushed the throtle to max and after 300 ft the plane still was not wanting to lift off even though it had plenty of speed. (at least 40mph) At the end of the pavement Ipushed the elevators up and after a quick jump up it snap rolled left into a nose dive and crunched almost everything. Ispent a long time trying to get the trim right and it was spot on when Itook off and the only input into the control should have been elevator...
Any suggestions? Iwould like to repair the plane but if this is a common problem Iwill just try a different model with a nice straight wing!
O, Ilive at 10000 ft above sea level so the thin air may have had something to do with it.
