Bill.. From the wings back the plane is immaculate. One side of the fuse snapped but the other was intact (double layer ply). I used some ply reinforcement...
We (Bob and Ed) took up the Battle Axe up today and the consensus of the two experienced pilots is that it is difficult to fly. Both had a hard time! It has...
John... I thought you had flown the Battle Axe before without difficulty.. Wish I could I could've been out there with you guys this morning, it looked like...
Thanks for the advice. With the fuselage so short, I was thinking it might be a CG problem, although the plane seems balanced about where it is "supposed" to...
The plane doesn't fly light as it is, I'd be hesitant to add more weight. What you could do if you don't want to move the wing around is just move the...
My Battle Axe was a bear at first because I forgot to fasten down the aileron servo. The servo stayed in during flight because it was squeezed relatively...
Thanks Suchin and Brian. I was able to move the battery about 3/8" foreward in the fuselage box. Next time I rubber-band the wing on, I'll set it back 1/4"....
Sounds good John.. except simply sliding the wing back 1/4" in the saddle will likely change the angle of attack of the wing which may only confuse things.....
I already thought about the angle of attack: since the fuselage box is curved to the shape of the wing, moving the wing back would set it at a negative angle....
John.. Shims may work indeed. I think there are two issues at hand with the CG issue here: 1) The wing is very small (in terms of depth, not span) and hence,...
