Pete -
Doesn't sound scary to me. With 4 clicks of extra up trim any well set up plane would
pop off.
The Hollyday 3 meter tubing should be ample to launch your plane. I'd try it again
like you did before, it can only get better with the elevator trimmed down to the
proper position. Be ready
Right on Bob!!

Hey now,
well it's that time of year again. The hawks are mating.
They get very aggressive this time of year any "bird" they see is a threat
to their airspace. They don't much care about non birds flying nearby
however. When they follow my planes I just do a loop or roll or something

Without actually seeing the launch, it is difficult to figure it out, but I'll try.
1. Is the hook solid in the bottom of the plane?
2. It sounds like the plane is nose heavy. (4 clicks of down trim flying fast but flew fine with out the down trim in a hand launch)
3. Hang the plane upside do
We had one of our local slopers lose an elevon to a hawk once...not a pretty
site. Same thing, high speed dive after his Zagi. I really wish I could have
taped that one!

It's a bit of a long shot, but a friend is going to bring a camcorder
tomorrow to work. I looked up the mating season for Red Tailed Hawks, and
it is March-May, heh. If we can get it on tape, I'll capture it to avi,
compress it to mpeg, and post it somewhere.
Keep your fingers crossed, er wa
Yea - sounds familiar.
Check the longitudinal balance.
The left wing might be heavy. It doesn't take much to cause this problem.

Seems like if you had to add down trim just to fly around, that may have
been the problem right there. Generally, if you get in trouble after
launch it helps to put the nose down a little to regain flying speed and
control authority. Make sure you have those four clicks in next time!

I decided to leave the air quickly becuase this is my only HLG until I
finish the one on my building board. My Chrysalis doesn't look much like a
hawk, though it is the right size. The wing is covered in transparent red
Monokote, and the rest of the plane is uncovered. It probably is mating
Hi Pete,
The first thing I did was to look up the Condor on the NSP site to refresh
my memory of the Condor. First thing I see is a plane with almost no LE
sweep and a fair amount of TE Sweep (forward). The drawing shows a 230cm
root chord (a bit under 10") A cg point is shown that is about
