Good day to all!
A new friday with sunny day and 35C here (damn its hot):cool:
So yesterday i finalized the build (8S 100% stock) and want to share some images and numbers...[any suggestion or advice will be very very welcome, as usual for the maiden i want to be on the safiest side by exchanging this information with others that are already flying.
Throws
I´m planning to fly most of the time in the MID range.
Elevator neutral position
Around 8mm down ELE (one of the Motion RC videos they say UP ELE but i think it was a mistake
).
CG
I´m getting around 190-195mm with my pack almost all the way back in the tray (in Motion RC video they use all the way forward in the tray so i wonder to be very nose heavy...maybe a CG at 180mm)...I´ll use a two 4s 5000 45C Gens Ace (550g each pack)....to be honest maybe i´ll stay in the 185mm safe range for the maiden...just worry about the flare with such nose heavy.
I measured the plane inverted (low wing) with the landing gear open and no ordinance.
Thank you guys
Cheers

Mine CG's with the 6s 5000 pack pushed back to almost the end of wooden tray, and it balances at about the aft attach point for the sidewinder pylon. My first couple flights were nose heavy, so pushed it back , now get nice rotations on takeoffs. Landings I finally dialed in with full flaps as you have at 45mm, but for full flaps mix in the "up" elev so the stab leading edge is about 15 mm total form the line( your neutral point at 8 mm leading edge down with flaps up looks good, that's where mine is) my plane pitches up a little with full flaps but once I throttle down more on final it settles in nicely and lands smooth as ever. ( I'm working on dropping full flaps a little later on final when speed is down more)
