Krill 39% Sukhoi assembly

Morning Andrew:

Thanks for the comparison notes on the mixes. I have a little less in the rudder / elevator 6%, and 3% for the rudder / aileron. How much aileron differential?

With that said these numbers increased when I replaced the wood prop 27 x 10 with a CF one 28 x 10 that was 3 ounces heavier, and it demonstrates how the balance plays with the mixes, at least on this plane.

I initially set the plane up on a balance beam, and was not close, moved the 2 - 4800 ma batteries forward 16" after flying. I was also instructed to have 1 degree of up thrust, that I started with at 1/2 and removed afetr 3 flights.

A friend has a Krill Kantana, and he experenced a little flutter on his elevators as well. He also balanced the counter weight by adding to them. The additional servos will certainly help.

One note, if you hadn't heard, the ailerons have been known to tear on the hinge line, so they came up with a fix,
this is the link Jagerbomb Builds Krill Yak55 Its intended more for 3D flyers, but I don't think it can hurt regardless of yourintentions

I know that Jake liked the plane and the 3D possibilities of the design. I suspect our planes are favoring the 3D side of flying, but can fly IMAC as well as the pilot flying them.

Saturday looks like a possibility to get out one more time before it gets really cold.

Andrew,

Hope to see you this week end.

The Plane sounds like a blast.

See you at the weekend Tom

Bob - I'm running 10% differential (JR).

With regard to the aileron mod - I should have mentioned the nice people @ Krill have started doing this as standard! I've attached a photo of the hinge the wings come installed with.

With reference to the CG and thrust lines - I'm also running 3 degrees of side thrust and 1 degree of up thrust and it seems very close if not spot on. Originally I planned to balance on the wing tube but after the install it was sitting in front of it and I just thought I'd fly it and see. Now it's further back - but still on the front edge of the tube.

evening:

glad to hear that Krill took attention the ailerons, and again i mentioned it just in case.
