New prject - DH Chipmunk

[richard armstrong]

All the power is now carried in the powersave box and the receiver gets its power via the fly leads.

This set up should be more than adequate for your model.
I have a spare powersave box if you would like it together with the instructions sheet. Please PM me if you are interested.

Steve.

I would have to fly it, to judge control surface movements, but lookng at your figures, i think thecailerons are to much, the elevator about right, and the rudder double the amount you say, flaps? Who knows, you need a try it at height movement

[richard armstrong]

hoping to have chippie and tiggie ready for cosford but if not elvington

unless there is a test day set up for bruntingthorpe before either

Richard...are you in a local club? If not, it might be worth seeking one out. The kind of questions you're asking and test flights etc are best answered first hand at the field rather that at a distance and occasional shows/fly-ins.

[richard armstrong]

chris thanks and point taken

no i am not in a club but i am trying to set one up locally

i have been looking at different clubs for alternative

the nearest club to me that allow IC and larger sizes are about 45 mins drive or more,

A short hop of about 20 minutes down the A46 from Newark will get you to Langar who are all a decent bunch and the site is superb.

[richard armstrong]

true and great site but not for me thanks

[chris-berry]

Oh ok...fair enough.
