Hello to all,
This is my ft flyer please tell if any problem is there. I maybe doing the maiden tomorrow.
Is it right
1. AUW actual vs designers recommendation
2. CG location vs -do-
place the lipo further front if u want to see real magic in the air. You are gonna kill ur battery sooner like this. Cant advice anything more with the given info. Nice work by the way. And good to see you have taken some efforts this time and went this far. P.S. Place the lipo inside please..Ashok.P
I lost my prop saver rubber bands. I went to some bike repair shops they don't have it what to do confused where can I get them and is thera-bands available in chennai.
@ Ashok sir I can't place the lipo inside.
@sanjay sir can't get you.
Use normal rubber bands.. ;D
yeah, what they sell here as prop savers are just automobile o-rings. Not so useful. use normal rubber bands.fyi, do- means ditto. Make sure your cg location and auw matches the designers recommendation. Ashok.p
thanks
best of luck for the first test flight :thumbsup:
thank you
cg location of my built don't know where should it be
See the build log in FT. It will be unequivocally specified, along with All Up Weight
To fly with a wrong CG is asking for - DISASTER!!
my cg is 1" back With the battery on the front. I read somewhere in FT forums that the CG needs to be between 5 1/2" and 5 3/4" but my cg is almost 7". what to do except adding dead weight
Fix it then fly it. How is the AUW?
i don't know the auw but it should be at least 500 to 600 grams due to foamboard and hot glue
Why don't you weigh it? Go to any vegetable seller if you don't have a weighing scale
I feel shy to go to them as they will ask millions of questions
Ok. Feel shy. But if you......>:D>:D>:D
How do I do a glide test.
I searched on google and youtube but the videos are not explanatory.
i think if your cg is at right place you can perform a glide test with some elevator triming
My cg is not perfect, how do i do elevator trims and how to perform glide test.
sir i suggest not to fly airplane until you have cg at right place , sir you can adjust the cg by changing the battery position . plz do not fly with wrong cg , can damage your motor.
i do glide test with elevator slightly upward direction , it keep the nose upward and wing at some positive angle .
best of luck for the first test flight.
