That's what l thought. It looked like its the same blue that's on the slick. Thanks. Will get some this weekend.

did u seal the elevator gap with 3m blenderm tape? i think u need to try and eliminate potential causes 1 at a time. I sealed my 71-in slick cuz I had slight misalignment on the elevator half joiners.

Sealing the hinges after reinstall the rudder. Should have it all done by tomorrow. Can't wait to see if my small changes that l have done will help. I have my 71 sealed too

I didn't seal mine...though I usually do on my planes...

Ordered!

Ok got te velox all fixed up. Well the elevator authority is much greater than the slick now. It tumbling just about as good as the slick though it takes a slightly different entry.
I ended up going a bunch of small changes and it seemed to work. Thanks for the help guys.

Well I got mine up and running, only about 4 flights so far. I will say first couple flights the elevator authority was weak. But the CG was to far north. I just do the inverted flight for all my planes, never been on the CG sticks. The further back I moved the packs the better. But I think I like a little more but an about to run out of room. It's also taken about 95% of the coupling out of a KE.

I was checking the elevator move by doing some medium speed walls. With the CG back there was a huge difference. And I have a lot of elevator movement.

Plenty of rudder though!! You can stand up a slow KE easy as pie. Easiest plane to harrier I have, upwind or down wind or transition. And I haven't flown it in anything less than 10+mph.

Good wind plane and tracks trally well.

Heading out to the field to fly mine later. Can't wait to try some short/light flights with my 6S 3000's.

I notice you have 610 servos. That's what I have too. Super fast and they center well.

And Rob also seems to like the wing bolts from Aztec Aero...as do I. For all of my planes except this one, I Loctited the nut onto the threaded part, but I have found for this plane, it works best to Loctite the threaded part into the wing, then thread the nut on when installing the wing.

congrats! I LOVE that scheme

Yep those wing bolts are nice. I had some broken balsa in that area out of the box so I laid on the ply and hogged out enough room to spin the nuts on. Otherwise I guess it would be a little tight getting the bolts in.

One flight yesterday in no wind, I still want my CG back a bit, I'll have to move the bec pro. This would put the pair of batterys touching the wing tube. What do yall have for battery locations? Also I don't know what the wing loading is(haven't looked it up), but it's not as "floaty" as a 71, 74, or 72. When taking off I have to get it going a bit..just something I noticed. More time on it this weekend!

Yeah sounds like moving your BEC might do it, but you could always move your rudder servo too. I'm loving mine with a push pull rudder... but I'm also flying a Hacker A50-12L which sort of made that a necessity.

So your packs are pretty far back?

Maybe 1.5" from the wing tube for neutral CG with rudder servo in the back, 6s 5000 and A50-12L in the front. Like you I am running a BEC Pro which is mounted alongside the battery bay inside the fuse.

That gives me so little coupling I haven't bothered with mixes at all.
