New Product 60cc laser-88" prototype testing

Pilot-RC

30cc
It's great that the "Test Pilot" has excellent skills but I would also like to see some action of a new plane on how stable it is in very slow and stalled flight and how well it lands even being slightly tail heavy. Are the CG marks you put on your planes set at Neutral or slightly nose heavy?

Thank You @Pilot-RC :way_to_go: . I was able to see that the airframe was probably set with a slightly aft CG. Seemed to stall at very low speed and I did notice the left wing tip drop a bit. Going to Maiden my Extra 330sc 78" very soon. DL 50 and canister for power. A bit higher wing loading at 15.25 pounds dry. Plane is slightly nose heavy at the cg indicated on the air frame. Balances level at the center of the wing tube and slightly tail heavy at the forward end of wing tube.

DLE50? will it too much power? I am afraid if the plane strong enough. :cryin:

I know "Exactly" what you mean :big-grin:. This is fuselage No.2 (V2). The V1 fuse I had broke in half :cryin:. The V2 design looks to be a LOT stronger and lighter than the V1. Really like how the fuse CF stringers go further forward. I will be sure to take it "more gentle" with this one :).
