Default Flash with Crow settings?

Anyone using crow with a Flash? I am not using it, but a couple of us were wondering.

Also, any set-up tips for a friends Flash with a Titan engine?

Thanks,
Chris

Default RE: Flash with Crow settings?

I flew mine with a 120 se and a titan se. Not much difference other then top end speed. Although I could make a slow pass, power up and pull and upline with the titan se.

I don't see any benefit to crow, the Flash slows down to a walking pace for landing with full flaps.

I'm running mine with a Super Eagle, plenty of power and a drop in installation. Ditch the bottom half of the by-pass, the half facing the wing, and you'll notice a nice thrust increase. No need for crow with the Flash, it has a good sink rate with no tendency to float on approach. Reduce the full flap setting 20-25 mm and make sure it is balanced per the manual. Not an incredibly fast jet but it flies on rails!

I had great luck using the full flap settings in the manual. It took a little down E mixed with full flap.

I have heard Eric say the same thing about the lower half of the bypass but what about the duct in front of it. Remove it also or leave it in?

I was advised to leave the duct in place so that's what I did. Only question now is when will the Super Flash be available?
