:oops:
Wow, that good, really?

Ok, I must remove the fingers and finish to cover mine to give it a go! (So do you Mr B!  :P )

Thanks again Mr Boyd for the comments, especially coming from a pilot of your class!  :clap:  :clap:

Was concerned a bit for the rudder, this is one of the hardest part to get right in size / effectiveness and must work without adding to much induced effects.

JohnPearson:
Fred just checked the CofG position:

75mm from the leading edge on the fuslage, or at the front edge of the front wing joiner hole pre drilled into the side of the fuselage.

Throws:

Elevator, as shown on the plan cut out (all flying tail) I used 60% expro rate on the elevator also.

Ailerons, 30mm again I used alot of expo 60%

Rudder as much as possible 40mm each way with 60% expro

Fred:
Thanks JP, I'll add your throws on the plan (I'm bad for that, I always put the maximum everywhere!  :oops: )

JohnPearson:
Fred with those big ailerons you could use larger throws if you wanted to, a 30mm is a good starting point. however with the expro rates you can have the best of both worlds, a smooth flying fast glider one second, and a highly aerobatic plane the next, with full control throws used

Fred:
True!
And the ailerons are... well, big  :mrgreen:
