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 with some down elevator if it slows down and starts to wallow on launch. I normally launch my lead sleds on a high start with thermal camber instead of the full boar launch mode. You can easily modulate the amount of camber, reducing it as you lose energy in the high start on the way up. The Hollyday high start should get you plenty high with just a touch of zoom at the top. have fun, don't sweat it. Rob Glover <<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>> RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
