Re: Honker Bipe with "easy" ailerons

Well darn. Putting the servo throw back to 100% STILL didn't give me the response I wanted. Definitely better, but still less than ideal. If the longer servo arm doesn't do it, then I'll be officially out of ideas apart from adding even more aileron surface area.

Will definitely consult with Doug ...

Re: CG of the Delta 250

I have uploaded the build sheet to this forum. To save you a bit of time, the CG is listed as 7.5 inches from the wing trailing edge NOT including the elevons.
One word of caution when flying the Delta: keep your speed up in turns. If you don't, it will sometimes enter a flat spin. If that happens ...

Re: Electronics install help please…

You are correct that the red/white/black wired plug goes to the battery slot on the receiver. I'm pretty sure the yellow wire is for thrust reversing (used on certain "3d" planes only), which you will not need on a Papillon. As for the motor wires, mount everything on the plane and hook them up ...

Re: Scratch building a Curtiss P-6E

Nice! I use that push-pin technique when building with foam from plans. Never tried it with Balsa. Another useful method (if you have a band saw) is to use carbon paper to trace the rib outline onto heavy plastic or thin plywood. Cut that out and then place on top of a stack of balsa to cut out a ...
