RE: E-Flite Tensor for AFPD
ORIGINAL: STLPilot
I flew your's Ian ... I don't have one ... so I don't know which is better. I'll take your word for it.
But one thing I can point out ... on some of these plane you have to make weight shift laterally to get them to fall out of hover. With the Tensor it will lock into hover with just elevator. But if you put a little bit of weight on one of the wings more then the other ... it will fall out naturally.

The tensor is super stable in the hover, its a dab of elevator here, a dab of rudder there, its really effortless. As i said, it just needs much more KE lift and it would be nye-on perfect...for AFP, non D that is...

RE: E-Flite Tensor for AFPD
ive had a try with lots of differet setting and ive found that there is a side effect of increasing KE lift that the rudder becomes less and less efective untill the point where at 100 on the lift the rudder, even at 60 degrees and 100 propwash its totally useless. ive found 5 KE lift and 60 degrees rudder + 100 propwash is a good balance
