Ben to the rescue: 1st Flight of Spring
Ben and I decided to take advantage of the only few hours of appealing winds so far this spring. Ben brought his Freewing SU-35. And I brought out the Eflite Cessna CZ-150. I wanted to try out a camera that I’ve had in the box for the past 2 years. So wasn’t concentrating too much on flying jets because I wanted to spend time getting to know the camera.
I did 4 easy and fun flights on the Cessna 150. Man, that’s a fun plane to fly, and to knock off the winter dust and rust with.
Looking forward to much, much more flying in the coming weeks!
Happy Springtime pilots! Let’s fly!!!

    Why does Juan fly so high and so far away on a maiden? I never do that, so I can trim it out and see if it's tail heavy or nose heavy, and I like to get a few landings in to get a feel for it.

      She’s a beauty! I haven’t flown the version 2, which doesn’t have the leading edge slats. As I understand it, it’s now lighter because of that. But, she’s still a T-45…keep speed in your turns with balanced elevator and aileron control. Keep that nose just slightly up. I’m sure you know this already, but it’s a tip staller if you’re not careful. Would love to hear your impressions of the v2.

    Nice fix ! Crimps are for inside an electrical box to tie grounds together (maybe not plumbing). Just picked up one as well and trying to get NW straight is difficult. To adjust rod requires taking NW assembly out - turn rod and re-install. Wonder if you had the same problem?

      Unfortunately, Ben didn’t dial in the flap and elevator mix that is required on this jet. The jet has a negative pitch tendency when the flaps are deployed. So, the solution is to mix in “up” elevator when the flaps are deployed. He just forgot to do that when he rebuilt and set up the linkage. Thanks for chiming in, and Happy flying!!

      @Flying Ant dang very strange. Hope he didn't get discouraged and rebuilt it. My 90mm f18 had a nasty stall on the landing approach turn, I had switched on gear and flaps at the same time, rudder might have been excessive too, stalled into the ground. Currently rebuilding mine too.

    Is it easy to fly? For me, no. Mine had an inherent right roll tendency which no amount of left input would correct. After 30 seconds of fighting it, it departed controlled flight and crashed into a tree, destroying the foam airframe. It was my dream jet I’d waited for 2 years to get, and it flew badly. Very unfortunate and very disappointing.

    After installing the upgrade servos, did you noticing any “ ratcheting ” or not perfect smooth when you finished the install ? My came with the upgrade and I noticed what I was asking about yours . I called Freewing and they sent me this back : The current Mig-29 is configured by Freewing with coreless servos to provide the ability to apply more torque to hold position during control surface movements. This “chattery” behavior is considered normal when the elevators are not under load (no input) and the servos’ narrow dead-band causes it to generate fast micro-movements as it seeks to hold the control surface in place. If you touch the elevator surface this behavior should stop. Rest assured that the servo is not defective and this chattering will disappear once the plane is in flight and air pressure is being applied. However, if the servo continues to chatter badly while under pressure, please let us know so we can investigate.

      @@flyingant2557 They we’re broader and each had different coloured wiring , as soon as I connected them they stuttered . When I removed them Freewing had made the box bigger so the high tech 85 replacements didn’t fit. I had to make a box to sit in the tray snug that then received the high tech servos . Unfortunately one of the rudder servos showed signs of trouble so to be safe I ended up up grading the two of them . This meant working in the same area where I had built the box for the elevator servos . MotionRC didn’t want to contribute on the grounds they would have supplied servos for the elevators the size of the originals . I wasn’t prepared to accept that because the high tech replacements are a up grade and what the aircraft needs . Ps watch the Utube video re conflict with flaps and the elevators, important info !
