| First turn on maiden and nose dive to the ground. Maybe the ailerons are to big or the throws too much? Maybe the need for some washout on the wings...any help would be greatly appreciated. |

| How was it flying before the turn? Might be a silly question, but did you verify your TX programming to make sure there was no mapping of elevator movement to the ailerons? Or maybe the elevators were reversed? |

| On the first toss, she gain some lift and flew straight no bother. I did make sure I checked the ailerons directions several times as I did that once before on a big foamie. Control surfaces seemed to be fine in that regard. Also triple checked the CG, But I will double check that this weekend...thanks for the reply. |

| I'm working on one of these myself, similar configuration but planning single servo for ailerons. Maybe excessive throws on your ailerons-- check also aileron differential, more up-travel than down-travel should be best. definitely keep us posted! |

| you could see if your servos were reversed, i had that happen to me once. |

| @peregrin - I think you are correct and that maybe the issue...I have my guys working on here day and night to get her back to flying condition. I will update this page when I can get a test flight in once the work is done.I hope to see you Aeronca Champion her soon!!!
@BriandKilby - I made that mistake once...I did double check that tough...thanks!
Cheers! |
