oh i saw one fly last week.What is that screech sound?

madmax · 08-06-2007, 10:07 PM

Hinged ailerons. Kinda the same reason your car's window screeches when you roll it down 1/2" while driving at 60mph. Sharp edge meeting different air pressure and velocity.

VERY nice MX2 Bro! Thanks for showin' the colors!!

Blakez · 08-06-2007, 10:15 PM

Glad it was not my fan belt !

madmax · 08-06-2007, 10:57 PM

It's actually coming from that highspeed FG sticker on the rudder. It's actually saying "yeeeeehaw"

Looks good, I will be maidening my MX2 this weekend. Did you weigh yours? I went with a 3W 170cs on cans for mine, should be adequate.

rede2fly · 08-09-2007, 10:50 PM

cool sound huh.. you should have herd them at the nall. sounds just like a slipping fanbelt. if iam not mistaken its the wiper on the ailerons. are these skin hinged?? havent looked up close, and no one at our field has one.

Flyinhigh · 08-09-2007, 10:54 PM

Everybody asks me about the screech in my CA E260 as well as my MX-2 - I tell then you have to pay extra to get the 'Taradactyl call' in the plane

I think it's pretty cool.
They are 'skin-hinged' on the top of the ailerons, with an open - gap on the bottom, nothing air can flow through, as the top hinge is sealed, but the sharp leading-edge of the aileron cuts the air like a reed in a saxaphone - music to my ears. The tail-feathers are all pocket-hinged.

I did not weigh it, not sure how to weigh it!
With a DA-150 on cans it is a wee bit overpowered,,,,,your 3W 170 should be OK.
