Marinaru

Not when it wants to pull you over. I put a Brodak 40 in place of the LA 46 and removed the engine offset. That helped some. I need to pull the CG back a little more. I need to find out why it hunts and cure that.

what do you mean by "I need to find out why it hunts..." ?
also, what is the wingspan of the little beast ?

It spans about 56" and weighs a ton. It hunts, that means it won't fly level. It wants to climb and dive on its own. Yet, it is not sensitive to the controls.

That was nothing more than people with warped senses of humor.

In an effort to stop the hunting, I reduced the elevator throw. I planted it inverted in the reverse wingover. Broke the fuselage aft of the wing.

I finally decided to look at the wreckage. As usual, the damage is not as bad as it seemed. I should be able to repair the fuselage. The real trick is figuring out why it hunted in the first place. The stab is history. I need to find/repair/make another one.

I've got this thing back together less rudder for a test flight to see if the changes I made help or hurt. We'll soon see.

Fronkensteen has a new small rudder and a linkage adjustment and will be ready for another test flight soon.

Another test flight, another crash, another broken fuselage.
