ITS ALIVE!!!
The ground handling appears to work well for my tail wheel setup even though it is using less deflection then the rudder. One major issue has come up that I have feared since starting these custom modifications to the FT Corsair. The CG as it sits right now is about 3+ inches from the leading edge of the wing and it is getting heavy. I estimate that I need at least 4 oz of nose weight (with my 3s 2200 lipo) to get the CG back close to 2 inches from the leading edge. That is a lot of weight.
Due to the extra weight and the needs of more weight to the nose, I have gone ahead and bought a 4s 3200 lipo that I am hoping will solve my CG concerns and give me the extra power for the extra weight I have. Its too late now, but I'm thinking I may have needed flaps
Now on to paint and a successful (albet not too fast) maiden. Crossing fingers...
