That went VERY well! Loving the new characteristics.
- More lift, easier hand launches, better low slow flight.
- Roll stability much increased, once I get the CG fine tuned it should fly hands off no problem.
- Slight yaw/roll coupling, turns are much easier to coordinate.
- Seems more stable flying at odd angles to the wind.
- Feels like it will fly inverted, need a bigger field to feel comfortable trying this. Under power 400' goes by pretty quick.
- Tip stall behavior seems very predictable, easy enough to recover even at low altitude.
- Seems to lose some roll stability with flaps down at low speed, flaps only for power takeoff now until I understand this more.
- 3S battery is what this thing wanted. Straight level flight at 1/4 stick, tons of power to spare to get out of tight spots.
- The CG moved back a little, which helps my pitch control. I can make a nice tight loop now!
