John Cooper | 14-Apr-08 09:10 | I used the ailerons and flaps to get a bit of camber and, on the port wing, to provide wash-in to counter the torque. |

John Cooper | 15-Apr-08 08:58 | Thanks Poppy. I started test flying it yesterday - this is one difficult model to trim Thanks to the pop-off wing, that is tackd on with glue stick and the very flexible landing gear, it has come off undamaged after numerous hard landings. One problem is that it doesn't glide well, because of all of the drag. The other problem is that I am trying to get the Stuka to fly in an indoor basketball court. Unfortunately it is not stable enough to make this turning radius. It actually flies well on a large radius, but I figure I need about 2 more courts, to stop it from hitting the walls. When I adjust it for a tighter turn, it will usually spiral or stall. On one attempt it rolled over and landed inverted. I think I need to try it with a smaller prop, to lower the torque. |
