Default RE: Going CL with tis R/C model

Fred,

Thanks for that info, There's a lot of it!

First off, WHAT A GREAT WEBSITE!

All kinds of info there. I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to Post it again.

Please visit this site!

A selfish note. You could put me, CFC Graphics, on your link page. That I would appreciate.

1 or 2 ounces of right wingtip weight would help, but I have flown some models without right wing tip weight.
OK, so having a larger inside wing isn't always necessary?

make the tailwheel adjustable, but fixed, the position of the tailwheel is critical to getting a good taxi
Unfortinately, my tail wheel is a skid, as was the actual airplane.

I would highly recommend throttle control for the model, a model that big would be scary if the engine was stuck at full power with no throttle. I have a PDF copy of my book that talks about the electronics used to control the throttle. Or you can install a 3-line system which will cost alsmot as much as the single channel system that I use.
The model is only 55" in span. I prefer the 3 line system.

I have converted lots of RC models to CL scale, using these general rules all of them have flown great...I even converted the 1/4 scale Bravo kit from Sig.
1/4 scale Bravo! Exactly how large is that model and what are you powering it with? 70' lines?

Thanks,

Charles
