The plane looks like it has huge potential. Have you adjusted the cg to your nose heavy likings Bodywerks? It looks really good in the vids and I got a little disoriented on the rollers in the onboard video lol.

Thanks Bodywerks, great vid and thread.

jrjohn · 11-13-2009, 08:43 AM

Have you tried any knife edge spins, flat spins?

PLANKBONE · 11-13-2009, 08:57 AM

Thanks for posting the video, looks like a lot of fun! Next time you could reduce your shutter speed and the size of your video will be greatly reduced......

Pvtzemerak · 11-13-2009, 09:28 AM

Suprisingly read through all these pages, Seems to be pretty good.
Anyone know when the 50cc's are shiping?

Actually, I don't like a noseheavy plane. I like the CG where it is for the most part for the roller stuff and fartin' around stuff and the plane is very stable and easy to fly. I just want to see how the plane flies when the CG is where it is supposed to be, which is about 1/2-3/4" forward of where it is now. Still waiting on the weighted prop washer to try that out. I think(hope) it will help with the snaps.

Thanks brian. I probably just need a better camera to be honest. The 3 minute vid that 03fomoco posted was from a still camera that also happens to shoot video and its quality is much better than mine.

Yep. does both fine - flat spins are almost tail down they are so flat. Will try to get some more video and throw those in there.

Looks good Nick!! You weren't kidding when you say that thing rolls on wire. Some of the most axial harrier rolls I've seen. Pretty solid. You know what will calm down the expresso rush.....a few beers!!!!!! Anyways nice work!!!

Badams · 11-13-2009, 10:25 AM
