[RCSE] Bat flying wing

2006-10-21 Thread glider1218
Hi All, Wow, I've had quite the time trimming out my Bat flying wing on the slope. I remember Gordy's flying club having an assortment of these. So, can anyone lend some advice on the location of the COG on this thing? I want to revisit the basics and make sure I get the balance right before I

One of the characteristics is that if I get a half-way decent lauch out of it, it tends to start a quick porpoising like motion. Check out my trimming Flying wings page: http://www.aerofoam.com/wngtrmpg.html Mark Mech www.aerofoam.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

4 3/8 inch is the sweet spot... You are hyperstalling it if you see it oscilate as you fly it. This is due to it being nose heavy and needing up elevator/reflex to make it fly... The most up/down travel you need is less than 1/4 inch!!- Original Message -From: [EMAIL

Go to Target and buy an inverter for your car that will convert the 12v power to 120volt. Their price varies from $30 to $50. Its better to get a larger than a smaller one (i.e. avoid the 100 watt one, go for a 200 or 400w one). Martin Usher Bill Swingle wrote: OK, hypothetically here.

Having caught the slope bug bad the last couple years, I have found myself trimming lots of flying wings and planks. CG is critical, true, but on a wing where the CG is close to the center of lift, you just can not have too much elevator and get good flying. If you can't conviince yourself to
