Default RE: Delro ADDICTION

Hi again,

I managed to get in 16 flights last week (for me this is a lot ...!) with my new Addiction. After som minor adjustments I think the basic setup is now completed.
The model performs very well, and has a very locked in and neutral behaviour. In fact I have no mix at all, except for a few % low throttle to down elevator.
My final settings are like this : Wings aligned with molded lines on fuse, stabiliser -0,7 degrees relative to wings, motor downthrust -1 degree relative to the front of the fuse.
That means that I adjusted the motor -1 degree down compared to what the instructions says..... With this setting the plane goes the perfectly straight in the verticals at all power settings.

The CG at 168 mm from the LE seems to be a good choice, at least mine follows 45 degree lines very well and needs only a little push when inverted.

Henning :
The molded fuse lines on my model seems to be aligned, I have absolutely no aileron trim when using these lines as a reference.

BTW: I have added a rather large T-wing right behind the canopy, and the "rudder to sideforce" response increased significantly. I like this mod a lot, making P11 #1 somewhat easier.
Also, my modified balsa rudder has the same thickness at the hinge line and trailing edge. I usually fly with approx -40% expo on rudder, but with this rudder this had to be reduced to about -5%.
Hard to explain but I like the damped feeling of this rudder, making corrections look less "nervous".....

Regards
