RE: FEJ very large F/A18 maiden
Good to hear that the plane came back safely although you had these problems.
Well now the plane we have here in Greece has around 20-30 flights.
Yes we had the same problem and the plane wanted to bank right. I think the problem is in the plug. Try to look at it from the front and see if it looks straight to you in the eye.
Once trimmed it flys well. But this is the least problem. The most was the wrong CG. Now with the CG @ 180mm the plane comes in as a beauty. No tail sinking anymore with the correct CG and landings are very easy.
Also we had problems with wing walking. We just cut the stock springs shorter and put loads of grease in the struts and the problem is reduced but not totally eliminated. As Oliver (olnico) is saying all the time the problem here is that the distance between the main wheels is too short causing wing walking.
We have set conditions on our radio (14MZ) which allows to trim differently during takeoff, normal flight and landing. I think you can do it as well on your JR. Thus we have set a lot of up trim while slats and flaps are down. But once set the pilot moves slightly the elevator stick.
