GliderGuy Thanks for posting your maiden report! I'm glad you agree with what we've shown and others who've flown it have shared, this bird is a big sweetheart!
t33jetman Unfortunately at this rate it would take me another ~120 more hours of nonstop calls to call everyone personally, not including the 25 hours I've called over the past 28. But not to worry, you and each and every of our customers are on my nice list! I wish I had the time to talk to all of you directly to share the information we've posted here and take a few minutes to catch up and see what else you all are building around the world these days. Many of you have been very busy bees!

Yup same thing here I ordered towards the end of August and was told that this afternoon as well. Well actually early October.

Obviously have no experience with this particular model yet, but if comparing to the SU-35, it will act pretty damn nasty of forced to high alpha with a poor cg.
To look at it from a different angle: Wait with very slow flight/high alpha until you have worked your way into a proper CG.

I would have to disagree with that. Trying to fly a nose heavy model slowly is some of the more awkward and hazardous thing you can do - normally.

Originally posted by Elbee View PostJust my $00.02, has anyone considered actually static balancing the elevators LE/TE using the pivot point as center. Thinking about doing that on my F-18. Just seemed logical what with a full flying elevator of considerable size. Best, LB
Well Done.

As I clearly state, I comment based on general knowledge and engineering skills, not experience on this particular model.
No model responds well to being forced into high alpha against its will - and it doesn't take experience to know this also being the case with the mig.
If you encounter a red hot oven - of a make and model you have never seen before - do you have to put it to the test in order to know you will get burnt if placing your hand on it?

Originally posted by Elbee View PostMass-balancing then is not as important; is that because the weight of the elevators is negligible compared to the forces being applied?
It certainly doesn't hurt, but it doesn't solve the servo load issues we've seen on the model this far either.

We can do this all day, bottom line, balancing the stabs does help.
