Thanks everyone for the interest and the help I moved the batt forward and center for starters, angeled the rudders??? outward hoping for a little more stability. I have a some sketch plans that I have been referencing and they have the CG located on them. John, I do have a channel for flaps that I can use for the elevons, I trimmed it in the first time because I thought it would need the elevator pitched up to sustain flight. I cant make out your drawing but I think I see what you are refering to. By the way, I have been calling the elevons "flaperons" for some reason not sure where I acquired the term, but I wanted to clear that up. Tink, I am new to aerodynamics, and have to google all of the terms you guys are using, I have been going by trial and error -mostly error- I am looking up mean and root chord now. Stew, Thanks for the positive reinforcement. Im not sure I would call it a flyer yet but well on its way. -B- |

I would attempt to explain, but I think learning the aerodynamics is important if you will be doing a lot of flying. It will give you some insight to why some things are happening. There are a lot of variables in aircraft design, each affecting another. Good luck with the adjustments and next flight. Get some video for us. |
