Its super

, what about the maiden flight?

sanjayrai55 · October 28, 2013, 06:15:33 PM

Looks good. The long wood stick fuse looks iffy; weak spot between wing & tail. Good luck with the maiden. Be light on the throttle - you are overpowered

EricOliver · October 28, 2013, 06:19:19 PM

Tmrw will be maiden an yea the stick looks like weak..but trust me it is very strong and sturdy bit heavy though

Simple: move your main LG near the LE of the wing

EricOliver · October 28, 2013, 07:05:01 PM

It will be fine

EricOliver · October 28, 2013, 08:19:43 PM

Hey sanjay can you tell me another solution for tht cg problem cuz my main lg are nailed to the wood so it will be difficult to move them...

Better to un-nail. Don't increase weight. Besides, you will ruin your CG. After you move it, you will be a little nose heavy. Can move the wing till you get your CG OK

EricOliver · October 28, 2013, 08:47:54 PM

Ok thanks lets see if it works

Nothing unusual about crashing. Been there, done that; still do it

The point is by reviewing a video you know what you did wrong, and if there were any build issues

Yea i will upload my vid wen i'll go after few days..i think my cause of crash was that my plane tends to bend to the left all th time....is this due to cg or ive more weight on left wing...?
