Hi All,

Am maidening my Large Skymaster Viper this weekend, and am a bit nervous since we fly at 6300 feet and with the summer heat and the high altitude, the air is thin and planes DONT LIKE TO SLOW DOWN on our 625 foot runway. [sm=idea.gif]

DOES ANYBODY USE CROW??? IF YES, COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW MUCH, AND WHEN YOU SET IT ON APPROACH????

Thanks in advamce guys!

Hi Shaz,

I use about 1 - 1.5cm of up aileron as crow. Maybe it could use even more, but this works for me. On my landing, I set it (obviously) together with the flaps-down, on the down-wind leg. I cut the throttle before the last turn, and it floated right in.

My viper only had three flights so far, so I'm no expert by any means
