I have a Strike 2 and really like it. Can you tell me the control throws you use. Your settings for Differential in normal and thermal mode (4mm down flap) And any Aileron to Rudder mixing you use. My Strike weights 120g, and I have the CofG at ~58mm. What is your CofG and weight. Many thanks.
Paul Gleeson hi , if I remember good , my diff was 12 mm up for 15 mm down in normal mode . so with 4 mm flaps it make 8 mm up and 19 mm down . my cg is 56 to 58 mm so you are in good range , I never use ail to rud mix . I hope it help you
Thanks for the quick reply. I thought that differential was normally the other way round? The aileron going up would move further. In a right turn the right aileron moves up more than the left aileron. If you put the aileron going down more, you are making this wing make more lift, therefore drag and the plane you adverse yaw out of the turn. But DLGs are very light, so maybe that's the difference. I'll try it and see. Thanks
the ailerons are only here for keep the glider flat in turns , you need to turn with the rudder and put a bit of ailerons in opposite direction for keep the glider flat an increase the lift under le internal wing of the turn . check the video " how to pilot 3 axis "
your english accent is hilarious, i love it did change in the past 6 years... but i like this one!
Perfect explain. I will try your advices on my Bravo F3k. Thanx a lot.
Good info, thank you. I was able to contact the guy who makes the Epee DLG and think I will buy one of his new 2017 models. Keep up the great work!
Brilliant, many thanks. Subscribed.
