SFM Hawk - pitch issues...
Flying the SFM Hawk and Gentle Lady.
Переглядів 6025 місяців тому
Gentle Lady did not want to come down from the good, floaty thermals today later on in the flying session. With much overspeed and flutter she came down. Thankfully the carbon reinforced spars held out. I think a spin may have been much safer, with hindsight!

    I love mine also but yours seems a little nose heavy the way it pitches down when throttle is pulled back. Or you got to much down in it when throttle is off. Mine will climb straight up on half power. It is supposed to climb steeply with throttle I barely use quarter throttle for a slow graceful climb but. Reduce throttle on mine she will set her self into a flat level flight and barely loose any altitude except during turns.

    • @wizard_techie

      Interesting. It's probably my poor flying as all my motorised aircraft behave this way. I probably should feed in some down as I ease the throttle back.

    Thanks! Some wing ribs - most outboard ribs in this version, I created shorter outboard panels with balsa ribs which I normally fly her with now, fuselage sides (but not doublers), wing sheeting apart from centre section and spoilers are 2mm foam sheet, not sure if it's actually Depron though. Fuselage foam sheet is skimmed with glass bubbles, some with woven glass cloth!

    • @wizard_techie
      @wizard_techie Рік тому

      It's been too windy this year to fly her much, and sadly no strong thermals caught either. But I have my doubts whether the spoilers would be effective enough to bring her out of a strong one, but they do assist landing in limited spaces very well, which was the main brief when spec'ing her out.

    Ahh thank you! Yes I originally had longer outboard wing sections but I built them too light really, and experienced flutter. In actual fact the flutter seems more related to CG position. I prefer these shorter sections which also have less dihedral. It circles easier in thermals, not that I have found any this year...

The only issue with this scheme on this model is orientation, sometimes If I've taken my eye of, I can't work out if it's become inverted. RRs need constant input, so I have put a stabiliser in this because of the orientation issue.

    Oh good. We like filming and flying her! Yes, originally I built it as a 2.5 metre but I then created smaller removable outboard sections and reduced dihedral. It also has spoilerons which work very well and the wings are built up using balsa, foam and carbon/glass fibre. I have a few other videos relating to the build. Yes all that space and still managed to fly her into my wife. At least I missed my car this time... :0

    Great maiden flight. I have the same GL on my building board now. Can you share the specks of the servos you used on the rudder, elevator and spoilers? How about the motor, prop and battery? Did you shorten or lengthen the nose? Did you post a build log on one of the RC sites? Again, nice flight and good videos and camera work.

    • @wizard_techie
      @wizard_techie 2 роки тому

      Thanks! I think cheap 9g servos for rudder and elevator, and probably 3-4g digital servos on the spoiler(on)s - just what I had lying about... PROPDRIVE V2 2826 1350KV Brushless Outrunner Motor with a 8 * 4 folding prop / spinner unit, 1300 3s battery about 40c I think. I redrew the plan so that the tip of the spinner is where the tip of the nose block would have been. The fuselage sides were the original length and I added a ventilated balsa block spacer and ply motor mount. I did make the front of the fuselage sides deeper so that the spinner profile blended into the fuselage better. Thrust line was mid-way up the fuselage (at the nose) and perpendicular to the plan bottom (no down thrust or side thrust added). I have done some build videos for the original build and when I created shortened wing panels: ua-cam.com/video/ATfz8PoYytA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/6xaUcXySZGI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/vnHLftgXrb8/v-deo.html I have passed on you kind comments regarding the video to my good lady wife!
