I haven't yet got the MLG inner doors done, but the other are done. Will that help? The lack of these inner doors may be what gave the model such a delightful sound and with the 160 running at a relatively low rpm it was all VERY quiet.
Regards, David.

HI David
Congrats on the maiden flight , can't wait to get mine in the air . What did you use for flap settings on take-off and landing and did the nose want to pitch down on you , at full flaps ?

Absolutely benign handling.

As Ali suggested I used about 15 mm flap for take off, 30mm for landing . It needed 1/8th inch trim, measured at t/e of stab, with flaps at t/o and another 1/8th at full flap. Use that as a starting refernce . I am using flight modes for flap selection and trims are memorised in each flap setting. I will adjust the flaps for progressively more deflection as pitch response with twin servos is not a problem. You'll love it.

BUT if you look at the cutaway in the wing rib to allow the main retract cylinder to fit, too much of it has been cut away, mine broke here curtailing flying. Re-inforce this rib.

Regards,

David.
