I broke it for him.

Can't tell you how though

It flies













Well it did

Was it a massively powerful launch?!

No it wasn't

Shite building if you ask me.

Was flying well too, vid is uploading now of my Dad giving a "Guide to Stalling"

M

Ahhh, that means it wasn't down to shite building at all, instead it was down to piloting skill (or lack thereof). I can translate

Give him a chance he hasn't flown properly for years

Pilot had nothing to do with it mate.

It was a building structural malfunction

I must say though it flew pretty well, was gusting abit but got a few loops and rolls in, very similar to the mini fireworks and just like a small blaster really.

Need to play on a carmer day and fiddle with the balance (after the huge repair) and sort a launch trim and fiddle with the rest of the movment but all in all pretty good.

Another key point is somone else will have to launch it at all times due to the launch peg being on the wrong wing

Eh? You're not cack handed are you?

You can't blame the peg Andy launches all his with the peg on the left wing & he's cack handed too

Andy Sayle wrote:Eh? You're not cack handed are you?

yes he is

How the hell do you launch with the left wing when you need your right hand on primary controls?

M

It's all in the trim setup I think Andy told me once, see he can talk a good flight you know

On the Launch, you shouldn't need to touch the controls until it is time to put it out of speed or launch mode, and level off at the top. Any adjustments that need to be done to take care of a badly trimmed model, or a hooked launch, should be beaten out of the pilot with a stick. Or if it is down to a twisted build, programmed in as trim adjustments in the launch flight phase.....

Andy

Thinking on I must have done it with his as I know ive launched and flown at the same time

M

What's that shuffle by me at 1.30ish

Rich's launching reminds me of my Grandad doing Ballroom dancing. Straight back, and all movement from the hips down. The ladies love it!

Look at the video you need a shedload more down elevator compensation with flap deployment, and perhaps the CG needs shuffling back a little. Oh, and stop hanging on the elevator so much, you are killing all the forward speed!

Anyway, how did you kill it, tell me, I'm going to bed in a mo....

Andy

Dancing on Ice for you this year i reckon PML, its right up there with Jem`s leg twitch

M

Its bugger all mate just the balsa block holding the stab on cracked on a launch no bother really just a dab of cyno to sort.

M (who knows Rich will be gutted ive told you tonight)

I've already designed that failure mode out Andy

I told you it was nose heavy & it wanted more down elevator

I knew that stab mount wouldn't last.... rubbish quality balsa in the kit. When you re-cyano it, peg it through in a couple of places from the top of the stab too (use a cocktail stick, or 2mm carbon rod or something). That should beef it up.

The thin little aerofoils used on DLGs really like a bit of airspeed, especially when the wingloading is at the upper end of the design envelope (like it is on the smaller DLGs). You can get away with it on the bigger DLGs like the Blaster, because the wing loading is a fair bit lower, but on the smaller ones, it really kills the glide. Let it zip about nice and quickly, and the glide times will improve noticeably...

What is it like with the flaps reflexed a couple of mm? Speedy?

Andy

I have already put Glass tissue over my stab' pylon ...... dunno how the C of G is gonna work out yet, was hopeing to finish it tonight but the road to hell is paved with good intentions!

I thought the road to hell was paved with Yellow Bricks? Or am I getting mixed up somewhere....

Andy

Yeah that's Alice and the three dead mice ...... damn this jeagermiester is good! lol
