Perfect setup for an IMAC Plane
Could some of the experienced pilots explain how they have set up their planes for some of the new people?

Re: Perfect setup for an IMAC Plane
And there isn't a perfect setup.
Its all Pilot preference.

Re: Perfect setup for an IMAC Plane
You want to be as tailheavy as possible, and I have found that the rolls are much more axial if only one aileron does the work. I have my rudder set for 68 degrees of throw and elevators set for 57 degrees, Expo is for wussies, so don't use it.

Re: Perfect setup for an IMAC Plane
Go with 1 Hs-55 on all surfaces and a gws pico receiver. I recommend a 100ma 4cell nicad for power. And for an engine, a Cox .010, should be a really puller.

Re: Perfect setup for an IMAC Plane
I don't think a Cox .010 will work Kiwi. Thanks for starting this thread BK, I'm wanting to start IMAC sometime.
Bodyworks, thanks for posting your setup. I will trim my plane to fly as such. 50%

Re: Perfect setup for an IMAC Plane
You have to go with a Wren turboprop(turbine) and a constant speed prop!

Re: Perfect setup for an IMAC Plane
Were all just here to help.....
Oh, If you go with the 123s you don't need regulators.

Re: Perfect setup for an IMAC Plane
Don't you have to start with NiCad's and graduate to 123s?

Re: Perfect setup for an IMAC Plane
Prop selection is important. On a 150cc: two blade Bolly 30-10. On a 100cc: two blade Menz 26-10 or 27-10. 50cc: Go home, we don't like yer kind here.
