I love mine also but yours seems a little nose heavy the way it pitches down when throttle is pulled back. Or you got to much down in it when throttle is off. Mine will climb straight up on half power. It is supposed to climb steeply with throttle I barely use quarter throttle for a slow graceful climb but. Reduce throttle on mine she will set her self into a flat level flight and barely loose any altitude except during turns.

Interesting. It's probably my poor flying as all my motorised aircraft behave this way. I probably should feed in some down as I ease the throttle back.

It's been too windy this year to fly her much, and sadly no strong thermals caught either. But I have my doubts whether the spoilers would be effective enough to bring her out of a strong one, but they do assist landing in limited spaces very well, which was the main brief when spec'ing her out.

Great maiden flight. I have the same GL on my building board now. Can you share the specks of the servos you used on the rudder, elevator and spoilers? How about the motor, prop and battery?

@wizard_techie Жыл бұрын
Thanks! I think cheap 9g servos for rudder and elevator, and probably 3-4g digital servos on the spoiler(on)s - just what I had lying about... PROPDRIVE V2 2826 1350KV Brushless Outrunner Motor with a 8 * 4 folding prop / spinner unit, 1300 3s battery about 40c I think. I redrew the plan so that the tip of the spinner is where the tip of the nose block would have been. The fuselage sides were the original length and I added a ventilated balsa block spacer and ply motor mount. I did make the front of the fuselage sides deeper so that the spinner profile blended into the fuselage better. Thrust line was mid-way up the fuselage (at the nose) and perpendicular to the plan bottom (no down thrust or side thrust added). I have done some build videos for the original build and when I created shortened wing panels: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4ia3JqJn7zfpKQ.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKyVt8WRqbbAd6w.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKJ8rsitl7vYkps.html I have passed on you kind comments regarding the video to my good lady wife!
