    C/A hinges in Giant Scale Planes

    Bart, you really don't need a lot of throw for IMAC. You need enough elevator to keep the nose up for spin entries....and that's plenty for snaps and hammerheads (although in Basic you won't have to worry about snaps). Most any airplane has enough aileron to roll, and rolls don't need to be...

    Scale Curtiss XP-55 Ascender

    Wow.....just Wow! I live vicariously thru threads like this Larry! Very interesting project, to say the least. BTW - @Decal Dennis .....this brings to mind more of a Rutan VariEZE than the Quickie.

    OK....getting closer to maiden, but before I start wringing this thing out, are there any issues related to wing structural problems on these earlier versions???? If so, I'll bear that in mind when flying it. Would appreciate any honest feedback on this question. Thanks...

    Just did a preliminary CG check and when I pick it up by the wing tube socket (canopy sitting off to the side, but in proper fore/aft position) it's just at the front of the tube. It should be fine for a maiden.....maybe this weekend. Oh....wheel pants and spinner will move that forward a tad...

    Dalton 260 vs 3DHS 330LX for IMAC

    Sounds like you need a bit more forward CG? That should increase the up elev trim needed for level flight and therefore reduce the tuck to the gear in KE.

    Yeah, really?!?! I didn't notice the poundage in that post!!!! I'll space the motor out before I go that route.

    3 3/4" Spinner w/backplate

    Thanks....but I've seen 2 of those fly apart in flight. Not my planes, but I think I'll pass on MPI stuff. Same with their switches :confused:
