The Cessna met an untimely end last year , prior to that , thanks to members advice - She flew lovely . 3 positions of flap on a switch ( starting at 20% ) mixed with down elevator . On a deliberately nose heavy Model.

The slider method may have worked better ? but I never got to find out . Sadly

Thanks Roy. Your opinion is worth quite a lot actually , especially to the un - initiated . Actual user experience is most welcomed. I take it the mix you mentioned is down - elevator to counter any pitch change ? After reading your reply it has only just occured that having a " variable" ...

Thank you Dave . All information is most welcomed . Yes this model has flaps, standard hinged not fowler or owt' fancy - but no slats . and are operated from a slider on the side of my TX , for the initial flights at least . the max angle being appx 40 degrees. this would hopefully allow me to opera...

Lots of suppliers on Infamous Bay.

Thanks again for the help guys. Power wise , it appears as though this aircraft was originally designed for a Zen. 38 or similar - with rear exhaust . I am using the Zen. 45 mainly because of budget , and the fact that I already have it .the props came from a swapmeet - undamaged . The LMA motto of ...

Thanks for the replies. Robin - I get the gist of the supplied link - sort of , but cannot get it to work for me , I was never the brightest pin in the box though.... Chris - would 26% of Root Chord ( mine being 410mm inc. flap ) be a safe starting point do you think ? how critical is it on a Cessna...
