081008 Supercub Afternoon Flight, Vancouver
1 year ago
Playing around with a few changes to the plane to make it more stable (which I think the video shows once I get up to altitude) and a new prop. Using an 11x7 orange Direct Drive prop. Put it on the wattmeter, and it's only pulling about 110 watts (stock prop pulls 160) so it's easier on the motor and battery.
Redid the elevator & rudder with real hinges today, these seem to hold much better.. Still waiting on the gyros for the ailerons & elevator, but dialed down the dual-rate and trying to fly better helps a lot.
As always, Aiptek A-HD velcro/banded to the side of the plane... As you can see at the beginning, it takes a minute to get the trims in for the extra weight, but seems to be an overall good flight.
