ken anderson. Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 the Dracon has had its maiden flight.flew straight off a few clicks of up trim(bearing in mind its a canard) I thought I would do myself a good turn by putting in a couple of clicks of up in(in fact I had put down in)!.....so off it went, quickly sorted the trim and it flys really nice....nothing untoward to sort out.the position I chose for the battery before completing the build has worked out ok...no weight to add to sort the c of g.the 2nd motor I chose doesn't appear to be very powerful so I may swap it out for another...….anyone thinking about making this model,jump in,its a goodin....and a bit of a floater in the landing ……...my first canard. ken anderson.....ne...1...dracon dept.

ken anderson. Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 well done kevin,dont know what your plan is for the electrics, I left out former 5 and made the battery bay in front of F6,with a top hatch, on my later ones I reinforced the area...I would extend the ply doubler to the area. I didn't need to add any lead to get the c of g correct. You'll enjoy flying it....it spins like a goodin...and is a floater for landing.. ken anderson...ne..1..floating dept.
