RE: F9F

Ok came home did some more adjust to elevator and added little more weight and got her up !!!! 3 1/2 minutes brought it down and 14% on battery . So I think I finally got it .Have a new fuselage on the way to make it new again !!!! Next Sunday I will try again and get some film.
I added three blocks of 1/4 oz form Hobbico to it .In the nose behind the cone

Loneflier sounds like you live in my area , upstate SC .

Hi H64-No, I live in North Alabama. Wish some of you guys were closer. It would be fun to get together and do some flying.

Sounds like you got it worked out now. On my MIG, I mainly just adjusted the elevator trim to more down, and was able to get it to fly well. It has been so long since I built my F9F, I can't remember for sure if I added weight, but I think I did. It is glued in behind the nose cone if I did.

Rktr it's only 3/4 oz total . The blocks are ingraved with 1/4 and used three . Adjusted a small amount of down neutral and tried it . Was a little too much down so landed and took a little out but still had some down in it . Got it leveled run 3 1/2 mins , battery showed 14% so I was satisfied .
Anyone reading thru these post please take in mind this is with the landing gear added . All research I did for info starting out was without the gear , it's all I could find .
Looking forward to getting new fuselage in to put her back pretty .

I know you might have mentioned it but, which LiPo did you use?

RE: F9F

Hey Rktr I'm using the 3s 1600 . It's slide up against the nose gear . I did double check and the info on my weights is right .
