2001-05-24 Thread Perry Hudson
I think I have a tranny problem or maybe it's just me. I have a 388 as well as 347's ,and a 783. The 388 seems to have a problem with the mix FL-A function. I can get the ailerons to couple with flaps for the launch mode by using the FN-D position for the switch but when I go to set the reflex

Ok guys, Yes, I agree that the same guys usually win most of the time. However, while looking over the scores from varies contests it becomes apparent that even the best of flyers can be forced to fly in bad air. Sometimes, the good flyers even make a mistake in reading air or in their tactics.

Ok, opened the box and read the plans. The plans show a pull pull system for the stab but they don't say what to use for the pully is the tail?? Is this a good idea?? I noticed that the flaps and ailerons don't have sheeting at where they were seperated from the wing. Do I need to sheet these
