if I cut the clue out just like you did and put some modelling clay just before the top of the rudder (not on the rudder offcourse) do you think that would help?
Sorry you can not express yourself in a way that is mature or can give some insight to your feelings. When a baby crys we know it is upset and if it stinks we know it needs a diaper change. As you can see a personal attack does nothing to further whether or not you agree or disagree and why. Maybe as you age you will learn this, maybe not, only time will tell.
Understood, probably something to do with this comment. Obviously, had you even googled you would have found that a huge amount of the buyers that got their day of release were having the same issue. I certainly did not invent it but was attempting to share with others that had the same issue. I am very happy for you that yours flew great out of the box. Also, I can't brag on my flying either and wouldn't if I could. Just not that type.
The nose is heavy on this plane. It makes inverted flight horrible as the elevator has to be giving 'elevation' to keep the plane straight right side up. So when you turn upside down, it just dives. I fixed this with 2 solutions. #1 is to add the GWS5043 prop, it makes a HUGE difference in power. #2 was to add a little weight to the tail end. I tapped on a small piece of metal. With the CG around 4CM now the elevator is FLUSH to keep steady flight - inverted is also rock steady! CG = 4CM
As for adding weight. Yes, removing head weight is better. As adding weight just adds more weight... which is bad.. but the amount of weight needed to change the CG isn't much, and doesn't cause any problems. The GWS5043 is also .2g lighter and also no prop spinner = less weight as well. You could move back your receiver to the back of the main wing, but I didn't want to adjust the control arm lengths. Just add a bit of weight to make this thing fly amazing, and get the GWS5043 or GWS 5030!
I have a heavy nose as well. I cut that piece off under the nose, moved my batter back(cut the foam) and also cut out some foam from the inside of the nose. I didn't get to removeing glue but i did remove a decent amount of foam from the inside of the nose. Basically where the motor is mounted. It doesn't need THAT much support. Tried to skimp what i could. Still, same problem. I'm going to try a washer on the tail but wish i didn't need to ADD weight...
It really bothers me to add weight to the tail since energy is a premium and extra weight reduces flight time. My opinion still is this is a manufacturing problem that should be addressed since it appears to be the norm not the exception. I have yet to have anyone I know purchase one that adjusting the battery position could compensate for the nose weight. I bought a replacement body to play with in the future.
quick little tip for balancing. set a small mirror down on table, set your balance stand on top of mirror, that way you just have to look down at the mirror to see the reflection of the wing to find the cg mark.
Thanks, I wish the CG problem was not as common as it appears to be. A friend purchased one as well with the same issues. I performed a quick test flight this morning when there was a lull in the wind and still had to add elevator. Since the manual recommended between 29-31mm I used 30mm. I am going to add another piece of solder to the tail and find out where the plane's CG with the elevator flat. Hopefully the wind will die down this afternoon.
thanks for this video, its great, and even the music is great, it was very helpfull
