Hi Guys, I've just finished building a new Mk2 the two part fuselage Predator 2.2,
I was wondering as there are a few differences on the fuselage from the Mk1 version does it still need the up elevator trim for normal flight? or has this issue been sorted now..

You could be too noseheavy or 'zero flap' might not actually be zero(resulting in a little camber in the wing). I do not have that issue. I carry only about 3/32"up elevator trim. My jet stays in a wheelie with a full uat. Tap the nose lightly and it comes back down.

After a flight on Sunday I noticed that the two bolts that attach the exhaust tube bell mouth to the angle bracket that holds the pipe in place on the left side had come off completely. They were easily enough replaced, but was a bit surprised to see that. Can't say for sure how many flights are on it, but guessing it is less than 50. Just something else to keep an eye out for in preflight.

My Feedback: (25)
So I started my annual maintenance on my predator last night. I found that all 4 of the hold down clamps, both wings and both horizontal stab, were all loose. I tightened them and then put a bit of hysol on them to hold in place. Just a heads up to check these.

Pilot UAT quality
Hi I`m starting to assemble my Predator and it was my plan to use the pilot rc Fuel tank with integrated UAT. Does the UAT work ok with no air bobles or is it better to buy an extern UAT of Good quality.?
