Hey Steve, it shouldn't take more than the "typical" amount of down elevator to keep the Mirage's nose upward while inverted. I'm curious if you're flying with any reflex, and with what battery?Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

I flew my mirage v1 with at least 30% expo and 5mm on the aileron and i feel it was still touchy (enough to fly but i planned to reduce throw before i crashed it).
I also have a question because the 3rd flights i've done i found it was nose heavy : with a 690g battery as far backwad i could (removed foam after maiden), my cg was a little forward the 530mm from the end of the fuse with gears retracted.
When you check the cg of the plane, you'll do it with landing gears outside ? Where is your cg ? At 520mm or 530mm ?

Aileron: 40% rate 40% expo
Elevator: 100% rate 40% expo
Rudder: 100% rate 40% expo
I also use the Admiral 4000 pro batteries and get a solid 4 minutes.

This plane has made me a much better EDF pilot, it's helped me learn how to setup a good glide path to bleed off speed and get my nose up on approach for a nice gentle touch down.

And about the cg test on jet planes, you check it with gears in landing position or in fly position ?

Hi Guys,
I just mounted my bird and have the 3D parts too. Nozzle is added value.
Unfortunately the 3D cockpit tub I received is crooked. Hope I I've just been unlucky.
But i'm interested in the way it needs to be installed. Does anyone have pictures of the installion to share?
Edit: good news, I will get a new tub.1 Photo
