One of the best parts of being involved with developing models is getting be the first to fly them. Once you having them flying I love solving the problem of setting up a fresh model. But to get to that stage- the first flight!
Today was the first day I've had all the Saker component parts together and flying. CG calculations were about right, although I'd overdone the elevator throws. Still she flew better than expected as a 3m f3f model.
After numerous flights through the afternoon, tweaking balance and throws each flight got better and better.
The new fuselage design has the Saker tracking and turning really well- feels like the best I've had but this is completely subjective.
So adding ballast and lots of thrashing around the slopes for the next few weeks and months to get the saker sorted- so much fun!
