Guys, I posted here rather than the Foamies section b/c I know I'll get an answer. I know how it feels to fly a tail-heavy "conventional" model, but what would a "tail-heavy" wing fly like? (i.e. a Zagi). I flew my Viper Twin yesterday, and I think the balance is right. It was very gusty, and the wing tips were going up and down from the wind (I'm pretty sure). Landings were not too fast, just nice. But the model did seem to want to tip its wings easily (and therefore turn). I couldn't be sure if these were gusts of wind, or the plane really wanted to tip its wing (again, not optimal maiden flight conditions). I don't think these were tip stalls (where the nose goes up, you lose speed, and you drop a wing tip). But it is hard to tell for me with a foam wing model.
Thanks
Thanks
