jgood | 08-Jul-07 19:10 | From my taxi tests, it seems like the ground handling is going to be a bit squirly. The relatively narrow gear, and the big prop and small rudder are factors I guess. Have to go easy on the throttle for take off. |

David Duckett | 08-Jul-07 19:36 | Isn't that scale handling? Maybe you should find a smoother runway, this one's all full of holes and a slight bump could cause a dip in the pool. Did these ever have floats? It's beautiful! |
jgood | 08-Jul-07 19:37 | Thanks Moostang! When I took it outside, the tissue seemed to lose some of the tightness, because of the humidity I expect. I was thinking that I wouldn't bother sealing with the Krylon Acrylic, since it was extra weight, but maybe I should. Will that sealer stop the sagging you think? I wonder how much weight it will add. Currently at 4.9oz, and I really wanted to be below 5oz. |
