Maiden report: I have to say with the setup I have now this plane is a great flying model. I now have ~15 flights on it and its a keeper!
However, the very first maiden flight was a bit scary as the model rolls to the right (port side). I had to compensate/trim with ailerons quite a bit to arrest the roll. Did anyone else have this issue? It seems the wings are warped - this could a mold issue. My setup now:
- My CG is at 70mm (book CG is 63mm)
- No Elevator/Flap compensation, at the correct speeds this plane does not need any correction
- I have slats deploying when flaps are at full. This really works well during landings for a nice, slow approach.
The T-45 will be in my hangar for a while - love it!
