"SPAD" Simple Plastic Aircraft Design
(19-03-2019, 07:16 AM)Peter T Wrote: I agree Marcel, I was told drop my Ailerons down below 50%, I did and it would hardly roll. Last flight b4 I hit the flight box was on 80% and it handled pretty well. Flew great and landed good. Had a fair turn of speed too. Just slowed down quickly coz the flight box was moved. Hey Kenny glide, when r we doing the next part of the build?

When you stand outside the flight box peter T, your perspective changes. You landed your plane behind you, not realising that the place you were intended to be standing was occupied by a protective barrier. Costly exercise!!! LOL. My first scanner has the ailerons at 15'%,very twitchy, maiden my second scanner yesterday had ailerons at 25% handled like a bag of spuds, upped the switch to 50% still sluggish. Was about to come in to land was about 30 feet off the end of strip, plane suddenly nose dived into ground, no response from ailerons. Completely smashed front off plane back to the cockpit, tore the wing in half. Started the rebuild last night. Should have it completed by Wednesday afternoon fly day and ready for this Sunday competition at the Gold coast.
