Default Re: CA Models - PassPort Delux ARC

Thanks for the mixing tips Jim. I got six more flights on mine this weekend. I am still lowering my rudder travel. I guess I am just having a hard time believing it has so much authority with so little travel. I think I will have to add a little down thrust, because I notice that my spinner is not quite lined up with the nose ring, this is causing me to carry a tinny bit of down elevator when trimmed for level flight. It also is increasing my rudder mixes to compensate for a slight pull to the gear. It is incredible how sensitive this plane is to very small adjustments, or mis-adjustments in my case. Still, so far, it is the best tracking and rolling plane I have ever flown. Snaps are just so crisp, they stop perfectly almost every time. I had always heard that pattern planes don't snap well. Not true with this one, simply an amazing plane.
