The reason for the twitchy ailerons has been discovered. The exponential for the ailerons was set to +30%. On Futaba the exponential should be a -ve number. i.e. The ailerons were actually set to be more sensitive close to neutral instead of less sensitive.
I've been thinking of building the TN 70mm Gnat. Nice to see a video of it. What size 4S battery did you use.
I flew the maiden and took the video but the plane was actually built by Harry. He was on the buddy box. Harry actually worked as ground crew on the Folland Gnat so it has a special place in his heart. The battery capacity was 3900mAh. The first flight was 1 minute 45 sec and the second was 3min 45 sec. Harry has now changed to a 4500mAh 4S battery but we have not flown yet with that battery. At the field we did not know the recommended deflections to check so don't blame Tony Nijhuis for the very twitchy ailerons. I will post an update after the next flight, hopefully with the results of the 4500mAh battery and the reason for the twitchy ailerons.
@@epfvs3527 wow it's amazing a 33" EDF jet can fly with such a large battery. Thanks for the information.
