congrats on the maiden. DID YOU CHECK C.G. BEFORE YOU FLEW IT?? Just a ? you're lucky if it is tail heavy. Could've crashed. Check your manual. The center of gravity should be in there. I'm guessing it's somewhere near the main wing spar but that's just a guess since I have no experience with this plane.

Well guys it dose fly wahoooo lol the plane is tail heavy but you can set the trim to make it fly true I am going to add some wight to the front of the plane. the O. S 40 works fine it is a slow take off but when it is up it fly's fast. The plane has a good responsd and is fast in the sky. The plane lands great. well it looks like I was the tester for this plane and thank god it did not do me wrong. I will be trying to get it on video and you all can see it fly.
Hey bud if you want a trainer you should getthe LT 40 cadet that plane is the plane for a begener and it wont Let you down in my book it it is the only plane for a beginer.

RE: Evolution 11 trainer
 

Yes I did check it And new it was tail heavy but when I put the powermaster fule in it that helped it so i could set the trim in the air. the tank is 8 o.z. so I'm thinking that I will try 4 o.z. and try that I dont whant it to be nose heavy that would be worse. all the guys liked the plane at the fly field I did a Tight loop and the plane perfrormed great. Did a spin and turnd it back to me upside down that was great. you should add some rubber bands I added 6 #64 rubber bands to help hold the wing on just to be safe lol.

you know tsands I am new to the sport and this is the first plane i put together. So this is a great day for me lol I just do a lot of readind and i thinmk it helped me on this plane or maybe i was just lucky but all and all it is flying and doing good.

RE: Evolution 11 trainer
 

This is a great site and we can all finde out what to do with the planes and how they fly, just want to say thank you R.C UNIVERSE. :)

RE: Evolution 11 trainer
 

I just want to make sure you understand that the c.g. is supposed to be checked with the tank empty because as the flight progresses and the weight of the fuel goes down your c.g. will change and it is always better to have the nose heavy rather than the tail.. BTW welcome to the addiction. (sorry ken I know that's your line:D:D). The important part is the guys at the field signed off on your plane so if it flies and they are ok with it then fly it and HAVE FUN:D I don't mean to discourage but 10 rubber band is good 6 is not enough. Enough of that fly and ENJOY YOUR PLANE.

Don't change your tank 8 oz's equals more enjoyment per flight:D:D

RE: Evolution 11 trainer
 

Lmao ok will do. we have a guy that has been flying rc planes for 40 + years and this guy knows it all and he is a cool guy for being old lol He teaches us all every day he is out their.
He could not get over my plane for the size of the fusaloge

RE: Evolution 11 trainer
 

He has MUCH more experience than I. :D

Imagine my surprise as I searched for info on this plane and found out it was MY thread!!
well I built it and have th OS .40 LA and mine is tail heavy too ,,,I have a small lead weight on the engine and the battery on top of the fuse (both for testing purposes) and its still tail heavy ,,I email the manufacturer for info on the CG and they referred me to someone else so I'm still waiting on that reply...good to hear its a good flyer, I may put a Fox .45 on it for weight to see if that helps or I may just fill the tank and try it that way for 1/2 a tank....Rog

RE: Evolution 11 trainer
 

Got a reply back from the guy raidentech sent me to..he says the cg is 3.75 inches back from the leading edge which works out fine,,the build manual say it 2.9 inches back...big difference ..so its ready to fly....I fly 1/2a and this OS .40 really sucks up some fuel!! I use a fuel syringe,,full I could get 8-10 flights on one of my planes I put it in the tank and it lasted a couple of minutes!!!...Rog

RE: Evolution 11 trainer
 

Well I am in clintonville WI, The wing dose tip up 1% and not down. I have put some plywood behind the Engine mount I used 2 , 3/16th inch blocks on each side this put the engine out 4 3/4 inches out. I have not flew it yet like this but it should help. the plane wants to clime but you should have enuff trim to make it right. this plane flys well and is fun for a trainer. If it still wants to clime I will put a GS45 ABC Sport Engine from SuperTigre.
