Gone with the Mistral
After nearly one year with my 2.6m ASW28 (HK - Volantex), here is my point of view:
- original CG is way too forward.
- doesn't like 4S battery and high temp days.
- 3S battery gives enough power (3/4 thr) for a 'flat' launch.
- top speed is limited. (overall drag?) mods I think doing for next spring: aileron gap sealing, servos covering...
- wings too flexible (kind of funny, but not efficient). Not fixed yet, thinking I will apply some laminate film.
- can handle weight (big batteries, fpv gear...) and wind, still have to test it on a slope.
- really nice 'scale' look in flight.
- need some speed, not a floater as a 'radian-like', not a good idea as a first plane.
- no sharp aerobatics, but loop and barel roll are okay.
- 120Eu/$ motor + esc, 6x servos included, quite good product for the price : one servo gave up after 3 flights, ESC is rated 4S but...
