[NSRCA-discussion] Masters Set-Up

[J N Hiller]

Thanks for the link Jim. I had forgotten reading it. It is printed now and
will be included in my folder with the AMA rules and NSRCA Judging manual.
It all goes to the field. The airplane is new this season and we are just
getting into 'trimming weather'. It was real close from bench set-up but I
suspect it has some quirks that could be improved if not eliminated. I don't
have a day job any more and today's wind forecast is E-5.
Gotta Go
Jim

Hi Jim,

I would like too add to that reading material an article written by
Peter Goldsmith regarding trimming seen here:
http://www.mini-iac.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=70

Peter's article is on the far right side of the page under "special"
articles.  This is on of the best trimming article I've read and goes a
little further than a list of tests to perform.

Thanks,
Jim W.

Hi Jim,

If you haven't already, I really recommend going through these trim
instructions with your airplane:
