Hi all,
i am currently flying a beaver with a brushless 1200kv, 2S , 8 X 4 prop. This is a high wing slow flyer.
AUW is only 350 gms
it flies great but i having trouble maintaining altitude.
The main issue is i like to fly it slow so i keep about 40% throttle but the beaver dives. So to keep it stable, i have to keep a lot of elevator ( 10~15%).
Friends,
is this normal to have a elevator action for slow fly or is this abnormal.
suggestions welcome.
yes - this is about normal .
In flying (real ones ) the throttle controls altitude and elevator
controls airspeed. (broadly speaking )
If you feel uncomfortable holding up elevator - and if you have a computer
tx then you can add a throttle to elevator mix - this will keep feeding up elevator
as you reduce throttle.
