Willy Nillies Super Sport 250

[OliverW]

If you would like, you can ship us your plane, we'll go over it, fix what ever is wrong and get it to fly like we know it can and we will ship it back to you.

What most people don't realize is that the Super Sport was the first airplane that started us into making our kits. Every kit we have made uses a design aspect from the Super Sport (or other lesson learned). The GLH, Barnstormers, Simple 250, Hummer all use the same airfoil that was developed on the Super Sport, as well as plan form, moments, constant chord/taper chord etc.... The Super Sport went through about 18 different variations before it was kitted. The Super Sport ended up flying so well by final version, I just had to kit it......

Let us know if you would like our help.

SIncerely,

It is alright! Thank you though! I was frustrated in the moment and felt like there was no way it would work, but now that I have gone back to it, I think with little work it will fly fine!

For those of us who will one day build this kit, or any other balsa kit, what did you find was the problem?

I haven't found one as of now. But I am willing to troubleshoot. First I am gonna make it a little bit tail heavy.

It's a rare day in life when the designer of a kit plane offers to help you out with flight issues. I would definitely take advantage of that.

I totally would. I just think with a little bit of work it should fly and be fine

I moved the battery back an inch. It still flew nose heavy but I am gonna fix the rudder then move it back a little bit more

 

[OliverW]

now where is my 25 dollar gift certificate?!??!? 😂😂😂😂🤣

 

[Willy Nillies]

Ooooohhh. So it was nose heavy. That explains the weird stall/snap. You were entering an accelerated stall condition.

Looks like you got her figured out! Boy you really have the aileron throw set high!

If it consistently rolls one direction in a stall, check your wing for a twist.

GREAT JOB!

This also explains high landing speed to keep elevator effectiveness. Do you have a lot of up elevator trim dialed in to fly level?

Sounds like you are headed in the right direction.

I do. I think I have it figured out. I just need a couple more flights and it should be dialed in.

That looked fun! Will you try inverted next time? I can’t wait to build and fly mine!

Yep!

 

[OliverW]

Well, it is fixable

 

[OliverW]

Full throttle low and just slowly rolled and dove in. The fuse is confetti up to the wing

Thank you! I had control over everything-ish. Was 100 ft out and it started to happen to I cut the power and let it flop in to try and save it. I dont think it was a brown out

Which of your planes do you think will take the 2204 the best?
