Focus

[Jon Uhler]

Added fin/rudder?????
 
This plane need help with KE flight?  Will it KE loop with the stock set up?
 
I plan on using the 3M 1.40 that I just bought from Jerry (Thanks Jerry!)
that should be more than enough power to KE loop this plane.
 
I and still in the BUILDING stage of my ARC.  Hate to miss out on any NEEDED
mods.
 
Thanks.
 
Jon

Beef up the landing gear block.. We knocked the gear out of 2 of them a
couple weeks ago at Ocala (mine included!)  Not exactly a flying
characteristic, but a zero landing hurts!
 
I've also seen several folks that have added fin / rudder area.  And if
you're running a DZ, you might want to shift the engine box back a bit to
get the CG closer (mine has an OS 160 @32 oz, and I moved it back about 1/2
inch for very good balance). It also made for easier cowl fitting, as it now
slips over and mounts through the fuse sides rather than flush on the front
with the blocks and such.  HTH, Chuck

I recently purchased a ARC Focus from Piedmont and would like to know the
modifications if any that can be made to improve its flight characteristics.
i will be flying it with a YS 140 DZ.
 
Thanks,
