Very nice maiden, Gary!  I was wondering how it was going to come down with those gears. It looks like they are really narrow, and the plane sits up high on them, hence the 'tipping'. Any ideas? Now that you spent all this time building it up, don't outgrow it so quickly! Haha. |

Haha. i used flaperons to slow it down at landing, i increased the flap angle now abit more, maybe it comes slower down and maybe that will help against the tipping. im glad i didnt crash it totally i didnt think it would fly that good. |

Bum deal. I've had that same landing countless times: where it pitches up right at the last moment (usually because of wind), and by that time it's lost so much airspeed, it just slams down. Know what it's like to fixed some LG's. |
