Hello all, I have a Clic EPP w/J250, GWS ICS 100F ESC, and Pico Rx. I am running the E-tec 1200 Lipo's and a 3x3 prop right now till I get the 4x4's in. My wing seems to wobble a little at lower speeds and when I let off the gas. Is this normal or do I have something wrong? Thanks for your time.

I've got no experience with that particular wing but with my scratchbuilt wings, wobble has always been solved by giving the tip winglets a little toe in (if they were straight to begin with) If it's a back and forth sort of butt wobble, and your wing has winglets, make sure they are straight or slightly toed in.

Thanks, I will try it and make sure they are straight.

BigShark,
I've got a wing that will shake it's tail sometimes. Sorry for the dumb question but.... what is toe in?
Which of these would it look like from the front of the wing?

Sorry I'm talking like a car guy. /-------\ would demonstrate toe in. According to folks with more engineering know how than myself, If the winglets are toed out the plane will sort of hunt for stability between them, causing the wobble.

Im by no means an authority on the subject but i would have thought it would be niether. imagine the line you have drawn is the trailing edge of your model viewed from the top then it would be number one.
