Hi Tony well I've read thru your 80 pages for the second time and I picked up.lots of great pointers. I have no experience in 1/3 scale bot I have about 550 hours in tail daggers. When I flew my Champ full Size 97389 I found using the ailerons and rudder together was not a good procedure and zldo.flying my AA Industries 1/4 scale and mixing the rudder and aileron was a big mistake..the Champ has enough authority turning using the rudder only If you need little more use the ailerons. You sound like a really proficient pilot. And your a master craftsman in my book. Really enjoyed all your posts. Still on the hunt for a scale windshield for my AA and my stash Presedent. Got to.go.thru these 80.pages again. Great postsAJ

Hi Tony I was watching your flight videos and noticed your land.gear in flight. It looks like it's spread. Should be a little cantviered inward and extended down on touch down. my 1/4 gear. On touch down spreads. I had to change my springs to get the right tension and installed cables the keep my gear from falling out the compression tube, also used grease with the springs. Great flying enjoyed your videos. I've gotten a little depressed over my 1/3rd build. I've lost alot of money , almost feel like I am.jinked. and doomed to failure. Should I just be satisfied with my AA Industries and Presedent kit. And 1/4 scale efforts and just leave it at that!AJ
Well that sounds pretty close to what you are looking for. My AA did not do. That my first landing was a disaster. That's when I realized what was going on got shorter springs and used grease bendix magneto grease. I use when I lube magneto bearings. My last grounding incident tore up my left gear. Sorenson never responded to my request for needed parts. Originally his scale gear was made for the Chief. Not the Champ.AJ
