Re: [RCSE] Flying a wing for the first time
> Wow, what a project! I'm not sure I would want to risk a maiden flight. > Just put it into the museum. ;^) After seeing the picture of such a fragile balsa ship, I would recommend serious bicycle testing (see my trimming wings page). The bicycle is your portable wind tunnel. You can also do this from a convertible car or from the bed of a pickup truck. You need a good clear area to maintain 15 to 25 mph while trim the plane. Hold it at the CG in the clear air stream and trim it for level flight. Definitely trim it with a bit of extra nose weight for stability. This will also show you how responsive it will be when you apply stick input. You will probably want to use negative expo to tame the controls.

RE: [RCSE] Flying a wing for the first time
Thanks for all the comments, I have put some more pictures at: http://users.deadset-chat.com/fantastico/ They were all taken a few weeks ago before I started covering, I'm now busy covering using Dave Browns SkyLoft and Dope. The plans come from VTH a german model web store with an excellent plans section. you can find them at: http://www.vth.de follow the "Modelbau" link then "Onlineshop" Most of the plans are in German (like the one I bought) but if you search for "englisch sprache" you will get all the english plans. So not only was it a complicated plane to build I also had to struggle through German instructions. Yes, Chris, I had to first build a curved building board for the wings and another curved one for the wingtips before I could actually start with the plane. But now the building board doubles as a storage case so it's ok. Thanks for the suggestions too, but general consensus is that the CG is very critical on a wing but yet some of you suggest adding weight to the nose for the first few launches? I like the idea of using a pickup truck to test it, maybe Izak can help me out on that. thanks Richard RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
