Yea - sounds familiar. Check the longitudinal balance. The left wing might be heavy. It doesn't take much to cause this problem.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 12:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RCSE] I'm afraid of my sailplane I believe I have bit off more than I can chew by investing in the "fun" that comes with a full house glider. I've got a Condor (NSP variety, not MPX or Slegers) that I thought I was ready to histart. Set initial CG per Sal (43% back from LE) A hand launch of this seemed sufficiently stable. Towhook is 1/8" in front of that. No launch presets. Controls all neutral. First launch veered left and popped off about 30 feet up, going fast. Managed to pull out before a stall and fly the pattern. Required 4 clicks down ele to keep a glide, otherwise she'd pitch up to stall. My questions are many, but my most nagging query is: What? I'm scared to launch this thing again. Does any of this sound familiar? Could use a little help. Thanks a bunch, Pete __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
