I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Trillium Balsa LC004 Citabria by hjlittman. Viewed 1190 times. Build Thread Next Prev Click image to return. Image Comments hjlittman 06-Sep-11 16:51 Modified for "white prop". New prop is much lighter so required another rebalance. This time weight in nose. Still weighs 17 grams. Needed a 1/32" shaft for new prop so I drilled 1/8" hole in Guillow's thrust button and slipped Peck thrust button in hole. Works fine. poppy 07-Sep-11 08:36 Very nice piece of work! Show some flight pics. TJH 07-Sep-11 11:33 I have plans for a P-nut scale that I plan to start next month. This one looks great! hjlittman 07-Sep-11 18:54 This is not one you want to build. Trimmed out it flies perfectly for 75 to 100 feet then simply flutters down out of the sky as if it suddenly became tail heavy. After it lands the motor starts to unwind again. I suspect that the fuselage is too narrow from the last former back to the peg and that the motor bunches in the back, unwinding from the hook to the last former only causing the stall and spin. I am changing the motor from 1/8" flat to 1/16" square rubber to see if it changes this situation. I should have given up on it by now, but I am just determined to make it fly. I plan to squeeze in my own Peanut Citabria amongst all my other design projects because I think this model should be a good subject. Hopefully, it will be flying at the AMA Expo in January. TJH 09-Sep-11 06:58 No, this is not the one I have. I have not done any scratch builds other than the modified Monocoupes I made from the Easy Built plans I had from the kit. Thanks for the info.
