CB's bi-plane |
Electric control line |
Another good indoor session at Gloucester. Mike flew two of his two home brews, CB has mastered a great spin with the power on where the model spins at the same height. I have designed a new model with the same side area as wing, where the side should have the same centre of lift as the main wing, it just needs a bit of fine tuning with a pair of scissors to balance it, as it is tail heavy in KE . | |
