[NSRCA-discussion] WOW - Brio maiden

[Stuart Chale]

Doesn't help your Phoenix 8 but how about a pusher prop on an electric?  You
can change direction on the electric motor and see how that affects the trim
problems.

Nat,
You're absolutely right! That's why you should pick up a copy of February's
Flyng Models.
I still wish we'de had a backwards crank for an OS FSR to test in a Phoenix
8 with the same issue.

Kelly
Contra rotating props would solve the knife edge trim needs. Congratulations

you have a straight airplane.  Nat

> In knife edge going right with the canopy facing me it pushes a bit to

> I will start working my way through the trimming guide next time out.
