The rained cleared enough today to take my scratch build FTFlyer out for a maiden flight. Aside from a minor problem with the landing gear not clearing the prop, IT WORKED!
So now that I've had a flight that didn't end in bits of foam blowing across the field, it's time to adjustments. First and foremost, I had the rudder on the left with the throttle and on this particular airplane, I'm not sure I liked it there.
Second, I felt that the plane was very "touchy". There was a bit of wind (<5 mph) but it seemed that minor stick adjustments translated to major actions.
Question: Do I just set the dual rate to 40% or do I add some expo?
Advice is appreciated!
