Mike Cotterill Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi Have built (?) and flown the ARTF WOT 4 but I find it climbs quite badly when trying to fly level into wind. Down wind isn't too bad so it is not a trimming problem. Anyone else experienced anything similiar please ? TIA MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Racer Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Is it climbing at all throttle settings, or just on full power; my kit WOT4 Mk3 climbs on full power, but flys straight and level on 1/3 to 1/2. otherwise, have you checked your engine thrust line?

Mike Cotterill Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi Yes it climbs worse with higher throttle settings. i have added a spacer to the top two engine mounts for more down thrust but it did not make much difference. If yours does similiar is it a charactistic of the aero foil section ? MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Cotterill Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 The engine is an Irvine 53 and the prop is an APC 11 x 6. I will check out the inverted flight and see what she does. MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
