Default Re: Nose pitch's up

I am certainly no guru here, but I own and fly both the 30% and the 36% Edge's and neither one of them have ever had this issue. Neither of my Edge's have any right, up or down thrust added in nor was it ever suggested in any of the build manuals. I have recently added a little rudder-to-throttle mix on my 30% er as it does want to pull left on uplines.

I would suggest double-checking how your motor is mounted and make sure it is done per the PAU manual (perhaps adding a little right thrust if you prefer). Also, double-check that your CG is within the PAU recommended range. Both of my planes do all the 3D maneuvers well ( I only know this as the club "pro's" have done em all with my planes ) and they are set up bone-stock per the PAU instructions.

As far as the torque roll issue: I am not very good at torque rolls, but I do know that when I get either of my PAU Edge's locked-in to a hover, it is near impossible to STOP the torque roll!!

Again, the best advice I can give is to re-check the CG, thrust line, incidences up/down thrust and right/left thrust and make sure they are all per the build manual.

I can imagine how frustrated you must be! Keep us posted as to your findings. I hope you get your issues sorted out so you can enjoy your Edge as much as I do mine!!
