BRODAK SMOOTHIE Flight 1 240603

A short test flight after removal of 1/2 oz. of tip weight.
Wind was very gusty and turbulent.
The Smoothie has a longer inboard wing which means you should not have to add any tip weight at all, however the plane was originally flying with the inboard wing much too high, to compensate I added more area to the outside flap and less to the inboard, thus making the wing fly as if each side was the same length, which is why it needed tip weight.

Where did you get that needle set up, have this engine on my Nobler, yours seems to hold the setting better.

The needle setup is from an OS FP.40, using the large Evolution insert. You can also use an Enya assembly, which has a larger spray bar. You have to experiment which works best for your plane. Remember once you drill out for the larger Enya spray bar that's what you have to use, so experiment with the smaller OS. 25-.40 spray bar first.
