Realflight Pattern Plane

[Larry Diamond]

Keith:

Here is a cut and paste from a previous post in 2002 by Ihncheol Park. I've used this since, and it works well and flies very close to what (how) I was flying. It actually reproduces the same in flight errors during contest...<vbg>...You may want to tweak it a bit:

Larry, 
Below is the Tracer modification by Ray Rhodes on 7/24/02 and 7/26/02.
Hi Chuck, Larry, Andrew,and all
Will start on this today, but I may have to continue tomorrow. Very slow typist.

[1I] In Plane setup~ I like to use 1.2 on the visual scale.

[2] Engines~ Use the OS 120 with the 18/6 prop.

[3]Fuse~ Length 78, Height 6.1, Weight 4.00, Frontal 52, CG -1.0, Width 4.0

[3a] Landing Gear~ Width 20.0, Be sure to lengthen the LG or the prop will not clear!! I use -8.1 and -7.4

[4] Wings ~ Stab span 30.0  chord 10.0  weight .65  airfoil NACA 0009  Main wing 78.8,  18.0  2.0 lb.airfoil NACA 0012.  Vertical stab 10.0  10 lb  chord 9.1  airfoil  NACA 0009.

[5] Control Surfaces ~ El. 25%,   up 15deg. down 15 deg. Main Wing 18% of chord  20 degrees deflection up and down. Rudder  55% of chord,   45% deflection R. and L.

I think that is all, but if something doesn't work, let me know. You may want to change the wash-in, and/or the C.G..depending on what class you fly.This is the way I change the snap and spin characteristics.
Regards
Ray  

Hi Chuck
I knew I would forget some stuff. There is probably lots more. Currently the wash in/wash out is 0.0, but the C.G. is a full minus 1.00. You will find that you change things around much as you do on your big ship. Right now the snaps are very close, but am having trouble with the spin entry. If you come up with any improvements, let me know.(of course I am having trouble with spin entry on my 3D also)
Later
Ray

 Hope this helps,

Ihncheol

See ya,

Larry

  Gentlemen,

      How can I add a 2M pattern plane to the Realflight G2 R/C simulator?

  Thanks!!
