Hello Dan

Awesome job !
" Problem is the powerful rudder control it amplifies any unwanted yaw trim. "
We have the same with bip Arpege. So we add a little plate at the trailing edge of rudder. It works fine.

Congratulations for the first flights Dan, awesome model !
I hope you will have great results with it in competitions !

Love the color scheme!! Simple and visible. Check out the 3rd photo from the bottom here: Ascent ƒAƒZƒ“ƒg
The 'fat' rudder trailing edge really works. Excessive rudder authority is a bit of a problem with the modern pattern design.
The Skyline looks great and as Alex said above; good luck in the comps!!

Thanks guys. I will definately have a go at modifying the rudder. Still early days with it but im happy so far!

Great result, congrats on the build. Now that more time has elapsed, two things I'm curious about....first, did you find that your initial 2.5 deg right thrust proved good and second, from my view, your flying stab servo layout is unique...are you still pleased with that result in terms of holding trim, flight characteristics, and servo power [BTW, what servo did you use in that position]? Thanks, Ted.
