Walrus Help
I've spent a lot of money at HK [please don't tell] and have always had good products delivered. My Walrus ESC went pear-shaped and I contacted them. All they needed was a vid of the funny stuff the ESC was doing and they gave me the appropriate points for my next purchase. [As I had requested, BTW]
I did not have to mail the faulty unit. It was a $6.00 or so item so I would have just trashed it and ate the loss. Thanks HK, Tex. |

Where did you set your CG? Mine is on the wire channel, 3-4mm forward from the manual CG(71mm), so it's at 67-68mm from the location according to the picture in the manual. |

My Walrus is on it's way. I am returning to the hobby so I would like advice.
I'll be using it as an advanced trainer. Have DX6i, plan on incorporating CROW for the 6th channel. Just want a rock solid ship, so I am thinking of installing a Turnigy dlux 30A SBEC Brushless Speed Controller w/Data Logging (2s~4s). Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks Wayne |

Great stuff. Glad you like it. I am happy with mine too. Just curious, are you mixing any elevator in with your flaps and rudder with the ailerons? |

What is the best Visual reference point for CG guys? I'm finishing setting mine up this week. |

You realize that any nose-heaviness requires up some elevator deflection adding a down force on the plane, in effect adding load. A slightly tail heavy plane requires a downward deflection of the surface in effect adding to total lift. Both of these situations add drag. So we should aim for a neutral position of the stab/elevator for least drag and reasonable wing loading. You might like the way the nose-heavy plane flies. It would be stable, for sure, but for best efficiency you should ease the balance point rearward as much as possible keeping the plane enjoyable to fly. The above is very simplistic and not meant as the last word on trimming. Tex. |
