    Wind Correction Recommendations

    Some very good practice when no crosswind exists is to fly upright on the X axis (L to R or R to L) and use rudder WHILE KEEPING THE WINGS LEVEL to skid the plane either towards or away from you.....at the end of the "box" do a 1/2 loop up to inverted and do the same thing going the opposite...

    Wind Correction Recommendations

    Yes, excellent question. OK....wings level AT ALL TIMES during straight and level flight, vertical lines, 45 deg lines, OR during any radius, such as 1/4 or more of a loop. Assuming all you had was a crab (YAW) angle during the upline.....as you pull, or push over the top, you must ease in...

    Biela 24x12 3-blade

    Not mine or anyone I know but this looks like a good deal for this prop. I do know the 26x12 works well on a DA120 so this should be perfect on a 100.

    Wheels!

    My guess is most of the weight is the bearings. The are WAY larger than we need for airplanes. Although the tire compound may be heavier as well.....again, they have to put up with much more abuse than we can dish out in a plane (at least most of us :oblong: )

    Sport Beautifying the Beast

    Brian....on my Beast I experimented with flaps on the bottom ailerons. Within a couple of flights I managed to scrape both aileron tips during gusty wind landings. The bottom wings are not that far off the ground to begin with, then add 10 deg of roll and a down aileron and voila! I removed...

    Wheels!

    I got a reply from DIS.....their 110mm 6 spoke aluminum rims are 9 oz (each) including the bearings....about double the weight of White Rose 4" wheels. Their width is 7/8".

    I never had any issues with these plugs on my Beast. Once aligned they stayed that way. You do need to remove the small "crimp" on the female socket so the male slides in without resistance. Oh boy, I'm asking for trouble there!

    Looking forward to seeing how you're gonna secure the lower wings. As for the wing wiring, I used PC plugs for mine, which worked awesome. A bit of a PITA to setup but worth it in the end.
