I haven't had an issue with the CG. I did experience one where the plane took off straight up and stalled and did a sharp left into the ground but for me it was a pilot error. I pulled back on the elevator too much and stalling the plane vs just letting the plane take off by itself.
I really want to take the plane out but it's a bit too windy. i also want to test it out with it's new 2.4Ghz Tx/Rx cause I did have a bit of interference issues when I last flew it so this is more of an kind of insurance |

Dynam ESC Programming
G'day from downunder.
This is my first post on this forum; for those of you with the RTF kits and want to know how to program the ESC here’s the link from the manufacturer (they don't sell to the public as far as I know). http://www.dynam-rc.com/download/diantiao.pdf I was reading about the problems one of you had with your motor - if it's a bit stiff when you turn it by hand and you can hear a slight grinding noise then its most probably the stator rubbing on the magnets, may be a bent shaft. This can happen while in transit. You need to send the motor back for replacement. I deal allot with this manufacturer and sell some of their stuff here in OZ, I have dealt with a few minor issues but never had any problems with their ESC's. You can get just the Dynam Skybus (DC-3) kit or ARF versions just have to hunt around. I like the paintjobs on the DC-3 (rob737) - they look really great. |

fellows, i think my crash on the first take off was my fault. i re-examined my cg issue, suspecting something was wrong because nobody else has had to add any weight (and i added a bucketfull). it looks like i used the drawing in the manual wrather then measuring to determine the proper c.g. envelope. now that i have measured it properly my plane too does not need any additional weight (it has all been removed). it balances just fine with the pack alone. some mistake! also...i used my standard "warbird" technique on the first takeoff, meaning holding a lot of up elevator to keep the plane from nosing over. as pointed out by another poster, this plane does not need that. it seems like the best technique is to just let it fly off the ground on its own for the most part. lessions learned! my plane looks as good as new, i just finished touching up the scuffs and the epoxy seam on the wingtip. got very luck this time! i think i am going to order some more of those gws props...at least from all of this i found a good replacement prop for this plane. rob |
