hello. how is this so stable!???!??! are you just really good mine wobbles so much when i hover! are you good or is mine not a good hever plane? its teh EDGE 540 from leadfeather. whats going on youre really good!

@Kpilot786457 Thanks mate. Have you checked your CG? That has alot to do with it, BUT yes i have had a lot of practice. The trick is to react before the plane does and use small movements only.

@scultura44 tail heavy is yours?

[scultura44]

@Kpilot786457 No not tail heavy at all. Tail heavy planes are harder to control in tourque roll. It is perfect cg if not slightly fwd.

[Kpilot786457]

@scultura44 so... how is it easiest to do this? fwd CG?

[scultura44]

@Kpilot786457 just move your battery or reciever fwd in small increments toward the propeller until it becomes more stable.

[Kpilot786457]

@scultura44 okay thanks! ill try it next month when i go to the next indoor fly in. or sooner outside if its not windy. thanks again!

[Kpilot786457]

@scultura44 Turns out the reason I couldn't hover mine was because the prop was way too small, 8 iunches but it needed 9 inches. Now with 9 inch, hovering is SO easy!

@Kpilot786457 Awesome mate, Bigger props always make 3D much easier! Stay tuned for an Sbach 342, i've been scratch building one i hope to have finished soon!

Use GWS DD or RD (slowfly) ??

[scultura44]

@Rika330L Slowfly. props. Throttle management needed, but only becuase the airframe cant handle full throttle. On this one i didnt need it anyhows.. It flies so damn stable at any speed, full throttle was never needed!

Hello. What prop use?

[scultura44]

8x6 GWS.... BUT i think 8x4 GWS is better!
