AS-5 Development
Original Post Date: January 13th, 2007
Maestro BROOKS conducted prototype v2.2 around the pylon course Thursday night. Roll authority is much improved and is now suitable for racing. The lighter racing prop and the heavier aileron servos have combined to move the C.G. to about 32% chord. This has made the model overly sensitive to pitch inputs so the battery tray will have to be lengthened to bring the C.G. forward when using a legal racing prop. The C.G. is O.K. for outdoor flying with a 7035 prop.
