Mclarenhpi

Hi, I have been flying my superstar for over a good 6 months now and have noticed that whenever I try to fly inverted, the nose of the plane tends to come down very rapidly (even at full down elevator!). I was wondering if I could take the dihedral out of the wing and then fly inverted properly.

Thanks, Sam

Sound like it's way nose heavy. I keep moving the CG back till it flies upright and inverted with no trim change.

Sam,

The Superstar EP is a flat bottom wing and does not like to fly inverted.

Check out our thread on the Electric Training forum for all the latest modifications to the Superstar EP.

Sorry. Was thinking of the Ikarus Superstar. An old age brainfart. Should have noticed the dihedral.

Sam,

I am flying the same plane and wondered the same thing. If you decide to try to remeove the dihedral let me know how it goes.
