Title: GWS beaver Question Post by: hangingtough on November 21, 2010, 09:12:20 PM Hi all,
i am currently flying a beaver with a brushless 1200kv, 2S , 8 X 4 prop. This is a high wing slow flyer. AUW is only 350 gms it flies great but i having trouble maintaining altitude. The main issue is i like to fly it slow so i keep about 40% throttle but the beaver dives. So to keep it stable, i have to keep a lot of elevator ( 10~15%). Friends, is this normal to have a elevator action for slow fly or is this abnormal. suggestions welcome.

In flying (real ones ) the throttle controls altitude and elevator controls airspeed. (broadly speaking ) If you feel uncomfortable holding up elevator - and if you have a computer tx then you can add a throttle to elevator mix - this will keep feeding up elevator as you reduce throttle. |
