Htin Aung Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hi Could you tell me how to balance the Jodel 400 from VMAR. The leadibg edge of the wing is not straight. It is bent twice from the fuselage towards the wing tip. suppose to be 3 inches from the leading edge of the wing. Thanks. Htin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Wright Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 not being an expert but I believe that is at the wing root - ie nearest the fusalage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htin Aung Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Many thanks. It will need lots and lots of lead if it is the root of the wing next to fuselage. At this moment it was balance at 1/3rd from the main part of the wing. The root is about an inch forward than the main part of the wing.I will use a car tyre lead from the garage. Already used lots of model lead. Many thanks. htin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hi htin, I've only just read this thread. The Jodel in RCM&E was reviewed by me. The balance point on mine is 3" back from the leading edge on the straight section of the wing. You shoud be able to feel a spar just in front of the undercarriage mounting....just there. Mine is 3.85kg ready to fly and is still flown regularly.You may find on a grass strip that the undercarriage will eventually pull out. The spars are strong enough it just looks as though not enough glue was used, once repaired they have never come off again. Lovely stable model to fly and looks good in the air.Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Adams Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi Neil, a quick question for you. I've just got hold of a DR400 and test flew it this week with an ASP70 up front. It flew very except there seems to be a general yaw to the left. I noticed in the instructions that there was no provision for engine offset like you get with a lot of models (e.g. 2 degrees etc.). Can you advise whether or not I need some offset or do I have another problem? many thanks ... Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
