I built this one for my son and the first maiden flight it flew, steered right and i basically had no control of the plane. It took a nose dive and broke the prop.
Turns out the screw on the linkage stopper for the rudder was loose and the servo rod was not moving much causing no response when trying to turn. I fixed it and went for round two maiden the next day.
Plane takes off fine, but this time it steers itself to the left with no input from me, and when try to get it to come back to the right it does nothing. The elevons work fine as i had to use this and the throttle to get it to land. I tried this a couple times with the same results.
So i put this stick version next to my regular built tiny trainer and turned both on to see how they compare in regards to how for the rudder moves left and right and to ensure that i was indeed turning left and right. To me, everything was almost exact in the distance travel of the rudder and elevon...?
Any suggestions as to what the issue could possibly be? I was thinking it might not be nose heavy enough, but even still if that was the case i would think it could still turn right or left. Thanks in advance.
