    330LX Help

    Sounds like you are a bit tail heavy. I prefer them to continue on the line with maybe a very slight drop to the canopy.

    330LX Help

    It does it no matter what attitude the plane is in, but I notice it more in knife edge flight because there is more rudder input than just normal course corrections. If I do a little stronger course or wind correction with the rudder I am also having to add up elevator to keep the line level...

    330LX Help

    It will stay true to the 45 upline as long as I will let it run.

    330LX Help

    The same with both left and right rudder. The stab is pretty much inline with the wings, it is the factory position. The batteries are above the horizontal center, but I could orient them differently so they would offset the pipes more. Thanks for this, never gave that a thought :)

    330LX Help

    Hey Everyone, I am trying to figure out why my 330LX is pulling hard to the gear anytime the rudder is deflected more than just minimal deflection. I would rather find out how to alleviate it without adding a mix if that is at all possible. CG is dead neutral. When I pull to a 45 and roll...

    PAU Owners Thread

    This may be a long shot, but if the servo arms are longer and they are connected at the outer limits of them, I wonder if blowback is an issue even in the harrier state? If the servos aren't strong enough to handle the force of the air from the prop this could lead to always being "behind the...

    They need to start making examples out of some of these idiots! That is the only thing that will possibly help our cause.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I can't believe I messed around with the DLE carb for so long. I am going to tear it completely down and see if I can figure out why it is doing what it is just for me to know. Curious about things I can't make work :)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Made it out to the field Christmas afternoon and got to tune the new DA 170 carb on my DLE170. All I can say is SWEET!!!!! It took 5 flights to get things right but, man that 5th flight was AWESOME!!!! For those that don't know, I have been fighting with the DLE carb for the last couple of...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Went out Saturday to try and get a few flights on the 330LX, but the *@&$# DLE carb gave me crap again as I was getting ready for the 3rd flight. The plane ran great for the first two flights although I thought it was starting to sag a bit at the end of the second flight, and then when I was...
