[tylerzx9r]

Very Nice! Looks like it will do just as it's intention of being built! Smooth and Crisp to Crazy and Radical! All I need now is for GSN to allow me to hit the like button more than once!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice Terry. Looks like a winner!

Nice vids and performance. I'm liking the plane, but the cowl needs a VIPER touch to it on the paint! I think the timing is gonna be perfect for me. You guys wring it out and get it all ready while I finish up my shop. Then I'll be able to put one together

Notice that the Viper does the "crashflow" at 5:30

I was able to test out the slow KE flight a few times and although I'm to chicken to get those down super low it locks in pretty well. I don't have any rudder to aileron mixing yet and still feels like maybe 1.5% would be max may be in order.

I've got the flaps set at about 75% which seems to be about right and does require a little bit of down elevator mixing.

These engines make good power but with the J&A mufflers it has developed a lot more punch on the bottom almost like the DA120. I'm going to have to dial in a little throttle curve to tame it down when the nose is pointed straight up.

It doesn't look like you are hurting for vertical punch-out at all!

Reminds me of the early days when the DA 50's were a new thing and we were putting them on the smaller, 25-30%ish airframes like the DP Extra and tossing them around like rag dolls! Good times!!

Regards,

Astro

I got 5 very windy flights on Saturday, and I am still working on the program: the controls have more authority than most of our other planes. With very low rates, this plane can track like the best, and flies like a trainer. Throw in the high rates, and this thing gets WILD!!!
In the hands of the more competent younger pilots (Dean, Gaby and the likes), be prepared to see some wild stuff!
I am so not used to SFG's (never had them before), I forgot to bring them.
If the weather cooperates, I will try them on Sunday.

I would like to see this plane at the 3D Farm. With p-Huck on the sticks. I let him test all my planes.


On the hunt for 1000WHP

And mine. ;-)

I would like to check out the 3D Farm some day but probably won't happen this year. LAW and I are going to try to make it to XFC instead, as long as work cooperates.

Huckoween is in October: plenty of time to think about it.

I guess I will need to find a home for my 3DHS Extra 330SC so I can make room for a Viper ST
