Yeah, I'm measuring CG from the LE, with the plane balancing pretty much level. Sevo is fine, I can do a full speed power dive and pull out in an instant. Yes, the rest of the plane is pretty darn heavy... remember, the foam board I'm using is covered with thick paper on both sides, and the entire plane is held together with heavy epoxy. The AUW of the plane, including battery, is 420 grams according to a set of kitchen scales of...

Well, there you go, Insomniac, time for the Depron, or maybe time to ask SmokeJohnson how his construction differs, 'cause heavy sucks! Specially if you want maneuverability... Cuts down on G-Forces.

I did gas C/L when I was a kid had a lot of fun going round in circles. Did try the rubber band planes to delicate for this teen age boy well when I was a teenager a few years ago, well many years ago. I only do electric RC planes now, glad I got into it to having way to much fun. I would like to try a glider sometime. Tried that to Thom only with a sheet results not good. John

Got paint on the F-16XL, came out pretty good! Just need to add decals now.

Yeah I have probably built about 6 of them now and helped several friends with theirs. We use them for streamer combat. Anything less than 10 oz seems to be the sweet spot. http://www.wattflyer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47556 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1061750

These flat foam planes require the power from the motor to stay flying, they dont glide for Sheet they are like a jet with short wings, loose power, and they will come down like a rock, thats why, its best to have at least 20oz of thrust from your power system, for a flat foam plane, and keep them lite, Hope that helps, Chellie

Glow/Gas Engines Electric Motors No motor ( pure gliders ) Other power/fuel forms (Rocket Powered) Airplanes/jets Gliders Helicopters Other I have done all listed. My 'other' is this: Lucky for me it looks as if I will get turbine qualified this coming year. My club (Miramar RC Flyers) has a turbine trainer!

Ok, I need some help, please. I have my radio set to Delta. I'm using a Y harness to connect the to Alevons.. My rudder Channel is connected to the front wheel works great and so do the Elevons to bank left and right..but, when I pull up on the stick they function as if I was banking.. What am I over looking here? I have tried the y harness to channel 1, 2 and 5 and it does the same thing.. No up and down..
