Hello
This weekend i started up my new scratch build swappable Messerschmidt for the maiden.
The plane pulled strait into the air, was very stable but went like an arrow into the sky, I struggled enormously to get it back on the ground, and made à belly landing.
On this landing the propeller hit the ground first and broke of the motor mount, but that’s not the problem.
The characteristics in the air
Left and right ok.
Up by itself with half power.
Elevator up was very fast, the plane yanks the nose directly to the moon by the littlest stroke on the stick. ( I used the low and high mold piece for measuring the degree of elevator from the swappable spitfire and this seems to be ok )
I only had the possibility to get the plane back on the ground with no throttle.
Can it be that the CG is to far back?
Is it therefore that the elevator is so sensitive?
