Great job Frank, better than I would have done!

Thank you much Shadow! Your good words are always appreciated!

Hold power up a bit and the elevator at the same time. Think.....High Alpha Landing. Keep the nose up by holding elevator, and power up, so it doesn't stall. You don't need much of either. Also, might help to mix in a little bit up Up elevator with the flaps.

Very true! Flies very stable and is pretty predictable! But landing it has been a different story! It's been bouncing back in the air after touching down for me. I'll try to come in with more of a high alpha instead of trying to do the power off glide approach.

I see too many people struggling with the landing one of the Reasons why I didn't get it😊

I hear you! This model's been giving me fits trying to land it! But I'll figure it out! It will be back at the field again!

@michaelmueller9635 Ай бұрын

Maybee there is hardly/no damper on the landing gear. It doesn't absorb the energy, it's more or less 'full-elastic'. And a bad resonant circuit.

@frankflyrc Ай бұрын

It sure does seem to like to bounce! Still working on getting a good landing out of this one.

Could it be that it was a bit fast to land.

@frankflyrc Ай бұрын

Yeah, the speed was a factor, for sure! The nose over on the last flight caused a broken connector on the left wing, and bent vertical stab. Also stripped servo for that wing. Need to replace the servos for the wings.

@@frankflyrc Things like that can happen. I've had to repair my F-14 a few times after bad landings. The F-14 flies as elegantly as an albatross, but unfortunately it also lands as badly as an albatross.
