    cool story: I was a flight test engineer at McDonnell/Boeing on the T-45. The real aircraft had the same wing drop issue when coming in to land. this was a very big concern to the Navy as this is their advanced pilot trainer. There were a few mishaps due to wing drop on landing. Not good for a trainer. It took a bit to figure out the solution....what finally solved it was the addition of LE stall strips near the wing root. Placement and location of these were very critical to preventing the wing drop. We were never able to find out the cause. The drop was not consistent to one side or the other, flap position, airspeed or aircraft configuration. It was just a 'quirk' of the aircraft. Once we added those stall strips no more wing drop.

    I used to have this jet when it first was released. It has the BEST trailing links for landing EVER.

      The gear is the main reason I bought it, I love that wide stance and the way the gear rocks back.

    You did great with maiden. Easy to fly , lands easy with flaps and airbrakes , i dont use reverse as its not needed

    • @FatGuyFliesRC
      @FatGuyFliesRC  День назад

      I used flaps and reverse thrust either way she flies and lands like a kitten. but don't float her in some speed is needed.

  • @rcflyguy8514

    Oh, forgot to mention, in real aviation the main gear would be called a trailing-link suspension landing gear Greg.

    Thanks to for all your vids! Question…where did you get your gyro settings? Are they published somewhere or does the + system arrive at them by gathering data as you fly? They (Or some of them) are different from the default settings. Thanks!

    • @FatGuyFliesRC
      @FatGuyFliesRC  День назад +1

      I got them by setting them myself and the advice from the Spektrum videos out there and 2 bros rc.

    • @ed571
      @ed571 День назад

      Thanks so much! I’m new to the + and actually haven’t done alot with the previous gyro. I rely greatly on YT vids and not much is out there yet on the + system. Model AV8R has started with it, and now Ima going to check out what 2 bros has to say. I got into it because of the Hand Launch Assist. But now that I bought in, I wanna understand and use it as much as my brain is capable . Thank you again!!

      I used them in the speed trial. Effective but I had a strong head wind so I will use as needed.

    Greg, she is a great plane but she will definitely bite you on landing if you get too slow and too nose high. Your first landing was perfect. She’s need speed. Also, Greg you are not pronouncing the name correct. You are dropping the W. It’s Gos Hawk😊
