All calibrations done correctly .

Help required . I,ve recently tried the gyro and it works well in normal mode but not in auto level mode . The plane was take up to a good height ,put into a climbing rolling mode and the sticks released .After what seemed like ages ,probably 2secs it did not level out .I chickened out ,switched the gyro off and regained control . Should I have waited longer for the auto level to have taken effect or do I have a problem. I checked the gyro on landing and the auto level mode was flashing as it should be . The gyro is activated from the transmitter I.e. off normal. Auto .The gain is controlled by a slider on the transmitter . The transmitter is a Futaba 14sg . Keith

The plane is an electrified Sky 40 which has been converted to a tail dragged like it,s big brother . It has 4.5 in Tundra wheels to help with winter field flying .There is a tail skid at the rear as per Peter Miller . As for learning to cope with it ,I,m still Designing it for old age ,see previous forum topic . If things do not pan out in the near future of things that I can do to aid my flying then I,ll pull the plug on the sport before I become a danger to myself and others and take up a different hobby . Thanks

I,m considering using a gyro to help overcome ground looping of a tail dragger model. Any advice on rudder movements and gain setting on the gyro would be appreciated Thanks

if you don,t want to use an iron ,then PVA spread between the covering and base material and then held down with loads of plns may work .

I,ve successfully used 4Max coverings .

Thanks everyone for your input I,ve tried twisting the wing .I don,t want to strip and re cover .so it,s going to be a smallish tab on the problem wing .

I forgot to say I,m contemplating using a flat bottomed section . Thanks

I,m contemplating building an electrified version of a June Bug .Large slightly undercambered wing on top and a more pronounced undercamered smaller wing on the bottom.I know it will have different flying characteristics but will it still fly satisfactorily? Currently the design is for single channel but I,ll make it a three channel version . I know some people don,t like messing about with old designs but I have personal reasons for doing so . Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful . Thanks . Keith

Here is my Christmas build.

I have a non-aileron undercambered glider wing with wash in in the outer panel .It is covered in transparent oracover .I have tried heating and twisting but to no avail .I am considering adding a trim tab to the opposite wing to compensate .any advice would be grateful . Thanks

Threaded rods with nuts and washers .

Thanks for all your inputs . It,s really helped .

Is there a recommended current that can be safely taken constantly from an esc.such as a % of its stated rating ?

3mm and 4mm threaded rod plus nuts and washers can be had from B&Q .
