Last day of trimming
« on: July 07, 2008, 01:14:45 PM »
As I stated in the original Continental thread it flew off the bench. Not quite true.
Things that were done to make it fly better.

  • Bend elevators down a few degrees.
  • Set uni-flow tube for same lap speeds.
  • change tail wheel to lighten up the rear.
  • Add a little nose weight. (It kills me)
  • Move lead outs forward.
  • change back to the handle I am use to.

I was having a problem with landing,it would balloon into the wind.It was dropping the tail after the engine quit. All fixed now.
It had a slight wobble in the outside turn of the square loops. Lead-outs foreword and now its gone. So I am off to the Nats on Friday.
I will not get anymore practice till Saturday on the L pad. Hope to see you there. This year with my dad with me I will take a post pics everyday and a short descriptive,of coarse I am no Elwyn.

Sparky, hope all goes better this time around.  Bring Dad around and introduce him.  I should be under the MBS Model Supply tent.  Best of luck,  DOC Holliday
