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

Image Comments PencilCricket 30-Oct-13 07:51 Maiden flight didn't go as well as planned... Not a total write-off at least, perhaps I should attach the wings with rubber bands? John Cooper 30-Oct-13 11:26 Too bad about the crash; this is a very nice looking model. Rubber bands are not a bad idea, but you can also limit damage by attaching the wing with 4 dots of glue, so that it will break away easily on a crash. Also, 44g is slightly on the heavy size, but still reasonable for an outdoor model. I would also suggest a 3cmx 1cm tab of paper on the rear outer edge of the port wing, at 45 degrees - this will keep it from spiraling left. Also, right and down thrust will be helpful - a little piece of 1/16 square balsa under the prop bearing, CAed at the top, right of the indent in the cowl, can do this. PencilCricket 30-Oct-13 12:03 Thanks for the tips. I was thinking of putting the tab closer to the fuselage in the prop wash so it corrects the torque under power and has less of an effect when gliding. Anything to be said for this? John Cooper 30-Oct-13 12:47 That might work, but would probably be a rather large tab. The standard way of accounting for prop torque is to angle the prop thrust to the right. Also, if you are using any tab on the wing you should put in some left rudder to counter the tab and keep the plane straight or make it turn to the left. Low wing rubber models usually don't fair well in a right turn. Please sign in to comment on this image.
