Re: C of G

Your welcome Pete,it seems that some require down ele,some need up, and some none at all,my cessna 152 is very neutral,flaps up or down, but my 185 required alot of down ele when using flap,it is very much a trial and error situation, but great fun trimming it out! In my experience up to 30 degree f...

Re: JR RD921 rx advisory.

Hi Rob,with regards to refuting Reds assertions,i cannot,my tests and others seem to agree with Reds findings, however because of potential problems that could occur,on my models i,ll stick to proper backer systems,imo.

Re: C of G

Good evening Pete, i fly "throttle right" and found it awkward to use a slider/rocker/rotating pot etc,but useing the 3 position switch on my DX7 (up/1/2down/ full down-flap),1/2 down for takeoff, full down for landing, works very good for me---just needed to add a touch of up or down mix ...
