RE: E-Flite Mini Pulse XT Owner's Club

RE: E-Flite Mini Pulse XT Owner's Club

With this wind the landing was very smooth almost bird like floating in to my feet.  One thing...

You might see a little performance improvement.... It would depend on things like weight, prop selection, phase of the moon...

RE: E-Flite Mini Pulse XT Owner's Club

Has anyone tried using the Mix function on ailerons in order to tinker with adding reflex so that the plane doesn't float on landing approach?

RE: E-Flite Mini Pulse XT Owner's Club

I've been thinking about the "Float" condition you describe, and I did experience it.   An easy fix would be backwards flaps....  It is so light that having the ailerons droop on approach would...

RE: E-Flite Mini Pulse XT Owner's Club

I just slapped in a battery and a shorting plug...   The battery is a 2100mAh 11.2v  last flight, I came in with throttle barely engaged, flaired and it dropped into the snow, no roll.  The flight...

RE: E-Flite Mini Pulse XT Owner's Club

Ok so the LG is weak...  Even after just my first look, I did not like how narrow the Dural Aluminum was across the bottom.  I can see where the torque flex backwards would rip out the narrow plate...

RE: E-Flite Mini Pulse XT Owner's Club

Yup,
I did move the servo horns one click forward, now have more Up than down for the roll axis, hoping to try this W/E.  As for the balance being correct, sure that's correct, but having weight at...
