@4BrothersRC I fly for Aj Aircraft, Extreme Flight and pilot Rc. It's always balance and setup that directly affects wing rock. You want the lightest battery possible with an aft center of gravity. You always want the most weight in the center of the Aircraft. Lateral balance these days doesn't mean much. Most of these companies weight parts. Straight edge wings like on the Edge 540s will produce the most stable post stall Flight over double tapered wings.
Wing rock is a natural thing to happen. Heavy planes, nose heavy condition and poor wing airfoils make it worse. A good modern design with very light wings that stall evenly minimizes all that. As said earlier aft CG helps, but how far bak can uou go without being too tailheavy? What always works is to harrier steeper. Keel the nose up like 50 degrees almost to hovering and the air wash under the wings becomes much less. The danger for beginners is being too flat, right in the transition zone where the plane stalls, tip stalls can happen in transition. So get the nose way up, or just dance with your wing rock.
Yes very true! That is the question, how far back can you move the CG back before the plane is too tail heavy to fly well outside of post stall conditions. The transition area is definitely the largest danger, I still need to work on getting the nose up higher, but it is a fine balance between high harrier and just hovering.
My 67-inch Pilot RC Extra NG had wing rocking. Although annoying, it was self-correcting, so if you let the plane wing-rock nothing would really happen in the end.
👍 If this video helped you, give it a like and don’t forget to check out our other videos www.youtube.com/@4BrothersRC. Thanks for watching! ✌
I have the same AJ Slick. Love it!
It truly is an awesome flying airframe! We will have review of it coming soon. Are you running 4s or 6s?
@ I’m running 6s 1800mah packs in mine
Same here!
Great tips. Thanks!
Great job.
Good stuff 😎
Wing rock is primarily balance. Move the battery back
Maybe so, but I am afraid in the case of purpose built 3D planes that rarely solves the issue, unless you mean lateral balance.
