Rifleman, you suffer from too much' hangar floor space' disease.
There's only one cure for that, right fellas??

LOL You beat me to it with your comment, I wanted to ask him if he just built that for future fleet expansion :Cool:

[rifleman_btx]

Hahahaha I love it!

[mr.frankenjet]

no matter how many you have there is always room for 1 more :Cool:

[rifleman_btx]

Absolutely! Well sad to report crashed again... This one was on me it lifted perfectly unfortunately I didn't catch it in time and in surprise I went full throttle... Well it pitched up stalled and down, lucky the damage is light and easy to repair.

[mr.frankenjet]

sounds like she is getting close, with twitchy or new stuff I try to keep a moderate throttle and throws as I try to keep her airborne. In the end she might require a mix to sort things out (IE: throttle-ele) Keep the faith,

[rifleman_btx]

Oh yeah definitely not giving up. I'm thinking I may need to change my thrust angle just alittle as well

[Dewey H Lee]

Sorry to read about thw crash Rifleman. Good attitude. Keep the faith get get her back up. Looks real close now.

[Boots Whirlygig]

Just like building the death ray. If it was easy, everyone would do it! Sounds like a little more tweaking of thrust angle and you'll have her flying!

[rifleman_btx]

Indeed, that's what I'm thinking, seems like it's pressing the nose down

[mr.frankenjet]

was up in DC yesterday, got a few picks for thr ust angle

[Boots Whirlygig]

The drawing I'm familiar with have the engines pointed skyward, which would cause it to nose up, which is how you described the failed attempts. These photos show the engines are level with the wing centerline. At least that's how it looks to me?

[Boots Whirlygig]

[F106DeltaDart]

It's there in the photos as well, just a bit more difficult to tell.

[rifleman_btx]

Yeah there is a 6°up angle on the props. Maybe I'll just leave it alone and try what I got but just hold throttle

[mr.frankenjet]

looks like the washout at the wing tips line up almost perfectly with the thrust angel

[rifleman_btx]

They really feel like they are on point

[rifleman_btx]

Went on a small trip last week so didn't get to work on the plane. And this week is pretty much booked to the gills as well. I really want to take a good hard look at her and figure out what I'm missing. Soon I hope I can get back to work on her again

[rifleman_btx]

Got her repaired hope I can get out there this weekend and fly her. I'll update if I get out there

[Dewey H Lee]

looking forward to it.

[rifleman_btx]

Will give her a go tomorrow morning
