flyin woodbutcher · 01-07-2007, 09:40 AM

throttle curve might help. Burn more gas.

FWB

PS when you get done burning some more gas , burn some more.

If it still climbs at 1/4 throttle, use less throttle. You will actually find that you need to modulate the throttle quite a bit to maintain a hover or torqueroll, as control inputs add drag and can cause the plane to drop, and often require blips of throttle to get the desired response - at least this is what I have found.

practice??? no? lol - took us all awhile to find the sweet spot as I call it!!

burn gas burn gas!

Use less throttle if it still pulls out at 1/4 throttle. Also, try to use small inputs as most of us when we began, overcontrolled the plane . . .

hope this helps!!

put a slightly smaller prop on it or reduce (narrow n thin) the one you have a little bit
The idea is just to change the engine power band up a little bit - making it easier to juggle the throttle n power
then practice
running that engine in mid to higher 6000 rpm makes it easier to use- cools better etc..

I'm with Dick, we always run a 26x10 here and it seems to be the happiest prop for the ZDZ 100NG. It ill give you the best of both worlds.

The ZDZ 100NG I have turns 6000 with Menz 27X10.

Thankyou Guys.I try 26X10 prop and burn moooooore gas. Now I dare hovering at 30 feet above ground level.I need toburn barrels of gas before the rudder can touch the grass.And before that I hope I don't need to drill holes on the ground with the tru turn.
