  • Nice flying. You seem to have it very well dialed in.

    I maidened mine this past weekend.

    What high-rate control throws are you using for ailerons and elevator?

    Any expo on the elevator?

    Thanks!

  • Hi Chris,

    This plane did not take much to get it to fly the way I like.

    I hope youtr first flight went well. You probably noticed it will make you work that rudder stick!

    I will have to measure my throws to answer you on the elevator and ailerons.

    I don't use any expo on this airplane on any of the controls.

  • Sorry I was joking about the pass over the Runway,some Folks use to get legalistic about the rules to a point where it wasn't Fun. I like your Flying and the Plane! I figured you may wonder what Rule, so I expected a reply.  Thanks for Sharing the Great Video ED! Ray.

  • No problem, I thought you might be referring to the low inverted pass.

    That pass was a camera shot and as you can see there was no one else flying so I took a small amount of liberty with the rules.

    As a rule I dont do passes like that over the runway, especially if others are flying at the same time.

  • You Violated our Club Rules,,,Why?

  • Huh?!?

    What rule did I violate.

    Is there a rule against having fun?

    Was I not supposed to fly in the wind? ??

see all

  • I logged two flights Sunday.

    Youre right about the rudder. It's like flying a rudder that just happens to have an airplane attached! I calmed the take off down using 50% expo on ch4. Works like a charm.

    Seagull says only 3/16" throw on low rate for elevator which seems way too small. For maiden I doubled the throw (lo & hi) but that made it pitch-sensitive. CG is 90mm from LE. Dunno if I should move CG forward or reduce the elevator throw by 20% and add 20% expo?

    How did you set CG?

  • Hope you're all out Flyin! Cobra Ray
