X-treme Composite/ BVM Astrall XX Spin

[Sukhoi Su-26]

Hello everyone,

I'm tryin to get my astrall xx to do the two turn spin. Inverted spins are great but it wont stop upright.
If anyone flies this or has any idea on how to get it to spin pls help. I currently have about 30g of weight on the tail and i maxed my rates for snaps and spins.

Thanks in advance,

Fred,

Fred,

Try to decrease your rudder in the spin. I ususally find that with to much rudder the airplane will become to deep in the stall and will not want to come out.

Thanks for the info on the rudder throw Andrew. But i cant get it to go into a stall to enter the spin it wont change the attitude to slow to a stop.

You may be tail-heavy. What is your wing incidence set at?

I'm not sure what it is.

Check out this trim article... it may help you figure out your problem... I'm nowhere near the expert the person who wrote it is, but having flown his airplanes, I believe in his methods. http://www.hebertcompetitiondesigns.com/interest.htm
