Hi
I thought i was on the home straight regarding getting my Infinity into the air. I came to fit the stab tonight and lined it up against the fuselage centre line and then i checked the alignment with the wing( eg checking to see if the stab and the wing were parrallel looking from the nose of the plane) . I found it was well out of alignment. I then followed the process to find out what was out of alignment. The wing or the stab. I rechecked the wing against the fus centre line and it was within 0.5 mm which i thought was petty good. I then checked the wing against the fin and found it appeared to be out by a country mile. Measuring from the top of the fin to a known point on each wing it is as much as 6mm out. I am pretty miffed about that. I can normally get it better than that building my won blind fold.
Has anyone else had problems getting good alignment with their Infinity and if so what did they do? eg fix it or compalin?

Mike

Hi Mike

Sorry to hear about your problems with the Infinity. Mine was dead straight and needed no basic ail or elev trim on the test flight.
(I won the first comp that I flew it in).

Issues that I did have though were.
1. The underbelly fixing holes kept chafing through.
2. The engine box quickly started to fall to bits.
3 The film lifted up everywhere despite me sealing all the edges.

I used a YS110, the prop was balanced. My advice is to beef up the engine box, as it is very difficult to re-glue it once it is soak in engine oil.
