PHASE 6 C of G please?

[JOHN BOWMAN]

An easy question for someone please,

From the leading edge what is the recommended C of G please?

Also surface throws please?

Professional wing.

 

Many Thanks

 

John

I think Matts Akkerson may have one of these models John.

If no luck, then just try 30% back and around 3/4" throws all around.

You coulkd always set the rates to say half of that for trial flights.

You gonna be chucking it off the Orme soon then?

PS The Hawk is finished and awaiting the right conditions for its maiden, so get the camera charged up, and wait by the phone

Hi John,

 I still have the original Chris Foss instructions for my Phase 6 

The C of G is 4 1/2"  back from the leading edge at the fuse. (The wing chord is 9 5/8" at the centre line)

 

The stated throws are:      Ailerons  5/16" - 7/16" up and down at T.E.

                                               Elevator  3/16" - 5/16" up and down at T.E.

                                               Rudder  1 1/2" left and right at widest point. (bottom)

 

 

Kind regards

Vic.

I have a phase 6 which I have converted to 2 wing servos, one for each aileron. Would I benefit from aileron differential. And if so what amount. Also, could I utilise the ailerons as flaps to slow the plane down for landing. And if so what settings should I use and what elevator should be added. Thanks.

IMO differential is unecessary on a model like the P6 & will slow the roll rate, if it's the Pro version differential will also distort axial rolls.

Hi Vic, I know this is from a long time ago but I've just got my phase 6 out of my parents atic after 30 years...!!!

it's all set up now - just waiting to maiden it (again).

Just wantd to say Thanks for the instructions - I wouldn't have set the C of G so far back without them and would've ended up with loads of weight in the nose and this is not a light glider to start with!

Thanks very much.

Those throws are really tame, you'll probably want to liven it up a bit after a few test flights!

To be honest I didn't take the throws, just the C of G, and now it's all ready the weather has changed for the worst!
