Sabres and Migs and stuff

As far as throws are concerned I once asked that very question and the reply I got from a very respected club member was UP a BIT and DOWN a BIT so I should just take a good guess !!

Sound advice thanks Simon, I've got some up and down and 5 sets of rates with assorted throws and expo and a pmix on a slider to add some more up or down and flight conditions to add some more of what I haven't got and its all linked to some switches which I will never find when I'm in a panic - so I'm sorted

Not sure I can make it today now . Be carefull though I tested my servos and they are really naf! I'm gonna swap them both out for some hextronic ones I have lying around that I know are good enough. Good luck

Phazer maiden flight completed successfully – hand launch with about ¼ power gave a clean getaway with no torque roll. Applying power gently gave a nice clean climbout. With initial guessed control movements the roll rate was very fast and full up elevator in a turn gave a viscous tip stall. I’ve ended up with +- 15mm elevator and +-10mm aileron and 50 % expo on both; it flies quite nicely with that. With power off it glides well and low speed handling is good but has a tendency to climb on full power. Tried a solo hand launch, which nearly ended in disaster but got away with it – just. I’ve modified my wing tips by jettisoning all my electronics at about 50ft although it doesn’t seem to have affected the handling in any way -this mod is optional. With the stock setting it’s not particularly fast it could definitely do with a new ESC and a 4s and when the stock motor blows a new fan set-up. All in all a fun little plane ideal for a bit of combat flying. Servos performed faultlessly.

Oh and thanks go to Chloe for help in setting up, wreckage retrieval and general gluing duties

So are you happy with it Alan? Glad you got it? Sorry I wasn't there, hopefully next week

Very happy, it flies really well. I would definitely go for the kit version and fit it out with a better ESC at least ( mine melts the glue on the Velcro) and maybe an alloy fan but 4S without a doubt. As a PNF its good cheap fun. Recommended.
