Amos Rebuild
...between a recent increased workload, and my Fathers passing (last week) i havent been too active or focused on R/C lately,,
I did however do some mending and modifications to My Amos Moses. Namely she got a new nose-job, increased wing area, i re-hinged the ailerons, and added Landing Gear, including a steerable tailwheel! yeah! Since (re)learning to fly, ive never really had a plane w/gear. I tried to rush out Sat. and (re)maiden her in the Apt complex parking lot,, woe, was That a failure. Adding about 3/4" (~19mm) to the leading edge had thrown the CG considerably off, and this plane is kinda short-coupled anyway, and blacktop is Not very forgiving,,, ..so i added a longer battery attaching velcro strip to allow me some more adjustment. Went out again tonight just before dark, and after a little bit of fussing and adjusting, got her airborn, and commenced to start negotiating the ground. I gotta tell ya, adding the pavement to the mix adds a whole new dimension to the flight envelope, and before long (I admit) i was fairly having a Blast with her until a finally threw a wheel and called it quits. |
