Multiplex Merlin
G'Day all
I have recently received a gift of a Multiplex Merlin. Not really a plane I would of chosen as I am a beginner whos has only flown
indoors mainly and only Rudder/Elevator. Anyway I am stuck with the merlin. After reading the reviews I'm getting a bit concerned.
I intend to make it a powered version on a DX6i Tx/Rx and I have a few questions -
1. Can it be tamed down through applying expo & reducing the throws without losing stability (and avoiding the dreading tip stall death spirals)?
2.Has anyone added some dihedral to the wings and how?
3. Is this more a plane I should put away until a bit more experience is gained?
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Allan
