Dive of Death
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 2:18 pm
Folks:
The main feature of my Elite's handling that I am still unhappy with is its tendancy to keep pitching down when prodded in a pitch down direction from trimmed level flight. Many people claim that this is because of the near rectangular shape of the front of the elevator spades, and can probably be fixed by rounding the corners. Well, we'll soon know, because I'm in the process of making mine semi circular. Can't get rounder than that. I finished one today, and expect to do the other tomorrow, so if the WX is half decent later in the day, I should have my answer soon. Stay tuned.
