Hi

Since the original post really only a matter of personal preferences. After playing around with incidences I concluded that it was really a matter of just dialing in some down elevator to low throttle (1,5%). I recently moved the CG back when I received the new prolite V2 packs (behind the landing gear plate) and I enjoy this more. That caused some strange mix set-ups. Up elevator with left rudder only 6% but 20% on application of right rudder. The plane is however better with snap and spin entries and not much worried about it. Seeing that next years F3A schedules are also going to require more inverted flights I am also more comfortable with the minimal down elevator required.

To me the plane sits better in the wind than the Beryll and slower in the down lines. It can also be flown slower than the Beryll. The only major issues is that I found that you need a least a 12 to 15 kg servo on the rudder to prevent blow back, the 9kg Futaba servo (as recommended) just does not do the job in the knife edge loop.

The rudder and elevator horns are inline with one another and that means you can only put a short control horn on the rudder in order to prevent the horns from interfering with the elvator horn (??). Design flaw maybe. We had our Nats over the week-end and had Inspects, Berylls and Azurits flown. If I had to be honest I believe the Inspect just looked the best in the air, the plane flew awsome. Plettenberg motor with VP prop, great set-up.

We had Dave Lockhart from the USA competing at our Nats, great pilot and great person. He came first of course.
