mini talon (new build)

hellsbells1 · October 22, 2017, 12:20:53 PM

Hi guys just a quick one on new mini talon build finished and ready for madian. Had alot of problems with the last mini talon which through pilot error decided would be a good idea to move the battery (aft) of c of g only by about 10mm but was enough for it to nose in badly and only the wings survived!. I feel this new build is alot better and regarding battery placement made a tray out of 2mm ply so can adjust c of g which i have set at 55mm. Not giving up on this plane as the few flights i had with previous one was very happy with the way it flys. Would love to post some pictures but it just doesnt want to do it so gave up in the end.

regards (hellsbells)

Good luck!

I have another one ready to start as well - will learn from my mistakes with the previous one :)

It's actually been AGES since I last built a plane so quite looking forward to it!

I've just ordered a new airframe too! I've decided that 18 months of abuse, has taken its toll on the existing one...

well yes ive had a few flights with mtd and it flys great never a problem. Thing with (mt) im always nervous when i launch it . So hoping to just get it up in the air so i can trim it out. And use launch mode in mfd ap once all sorted.
