RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Yes I am using 0 degrees on my turbine, but that has no bearing on my neutral elevator setting. If I was to fly at any speed, and kill the engine, this is where the elevator neutral would be. You...

This is what my elevator looks like at neutral.</p>

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Here is my programing setup with the engine at 0 degrees. I have gone with all control throws as recommended and use 50% expo on all surfaces. It feels solid in the air and even though I have...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Here are some photos of my engine at 0 degrees. You will notice that the bottom of the engine is parallel to the top of cantilever engine tongue. I have noticed that some people are making very...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I have used throttle to elevator mixing to compensate for the 0 degree setup. There is no pitch or trim changes throughout the flight with the linear mixing that I am using. Its small, but its only...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

With a bit of encouragement from BaldEagle a while back, I changed my configuration to 0 degrees of thrust. I would highly encourage this setup for several reasons. With the down/up thrust setting,...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

This plane is a bit awkward to transport if you have to disassemble it, so I thought that I would pass on how I made this task easy. First of all, I run all my rudder and elevator servo wires through...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Back on page 148, I asked the opinion of what to do with my new Pro-Link gear being too long, and the answer was to cut them down on my lathe. I took 40mm off the mains, and 10mm off the nose legs...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I had been flying my Falcon with cheap Chinese spring type gear, but they were not holding up to the loads, so I have purchased the Pro-Links from Dreamworks. The gear looks great, but it is built to...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Woohoo.  I maidened my Falcon today and what a blast.  My elevator mixing was off a bit for level flight on the zero engine thrust setting.  I had used .25 “ down at full  throttle, but I think half...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Ok, I am hoping that this crude picture explains what I am understanding from the comments that I have read. In the picture, the bottom of the stab is level with the top of the elevator with the...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

This question is directed more towards BaldEagel, but anyone who is using your turbine at 0 degrees please jump in as well. First off, I am trying to understand the statement that the elevator must...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Thanks BaldEagle for the response.  I think that I will try the 0 degrees of thrust angle for my engine, but I don’t quite get why you do not need mixing with down elevator  in this configuration.  I...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I am interested in the approach of using no up thrust on the turbine as was mentioned on the last page.  I have the use of a sod farm as one of the fields I fly from, but the owners would not be too...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I have been doing more building than flying lately, so progress on the Falcon has been slower than I would like. I would like to pass on the way that I did my canopy. I am using the flimsy factory...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Here is what I did to tighten the stab mounting without the crushing of wood. With the pilot hole drilled, I carefully used a forstner bit to drill a bigger hole for a hard point. I drilled down to...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Hey there Raptor. Are you selling this fuel tank, as it looks like you have made a mold for this?
