John Cooper | 27-Jan-08 23:15 | Landing gear install into 2 metal tubes in the fuselage. There is a 3rd tube further back, to allow for floats. |
jgood | 28-Jan-08 09:50 | Very nice work, John. How does she fly? What's the all up weight? |
John Cooper | 28-Jan-08 10:03 | All up weight is 27 oz. The 3 cell Lipo and the Nippy Black pull it along with plenty of power to spare. It flies like a trainer, crusing at about 1/3 throttle. With flaperons down, it comes in very slowly. |
jgood | 28-Jan-08 10:07 | Sounds nice! What's the wing span? How do you find the flaperons? I have them on my Tyro, but rarely use them for landing since I lose too much roll authority. You don't have that problem? |
jgood | 28-Jan-08 10:17 | Sorry, just saw your other comment, 48" wingspan! |
John Cooper | 28-Jan-08 10:33 | Because of its high wing and dihedral, it can fly with just the rudder (although I normally use ailerons as well). I don't have any control problem when landing. |
