Hangar 9 ASW-20

[BobR]

Thank You Sir - I think she will

[BobR]

Question: I am preparing to mount motor. Most RC Applications require a slightly down and to the right (overcome torque during flight) It appears that the instructions do not even discuss this and more importantly seem to say everything should be symetrical. Any Advise would be greatly appreciated?

That looks great Bob, love the scheme!

I understand the Foam thickness was not your issue however your comment was what triggered me to re-look at my Dolly and make some changes. Glad to report the First Flight from my new Dolly worked beautifully.

[BobR]

Well Guys the build continues - Yes I had difficulty with the elevator, the suggested method and material are poor at best. Modification much beter. Thought I would preview the decal set that I am placing on the bird. A Bit patriotic Hope to have some photos for you in several weeks.

Great pictures

[French1]

well the foam is not the issue, just be sure that you are holding it right to the dolly because that prop makes everything that is not fixed right flying away with 1800W of power

[Scottchman]

Thanks for the heads up, I will add a little thicker foam on my Dolly in that area.

Flew my ASW20 yesterday, 75mn flight... that plane is a thermal finder... loved flying it with these condition when there is thermals but you have to find them and work them hard, great gratification to gain altitude then!

I use the dolly and let me give you an advise : be sure that the foam pad on the LE is well secured, mine was not flew away when I speed up before take off and slightly dent the LE of the wings..
Now you know an have no excuses if it happen to you!

Does anyone have the dimensions of the letters on the fuselage? I peeled them off when I got mine , but now I want to add a custom N number.

I am using a futaba radio with the recommended servos and I set my ATVs all the way up to 140%. I don't remember if I pushed it out one more hole or not on the arm.

Thanks Gunny, you're correct, the manual does say 23 and 21 mm. I was writing from the house while the manual was in the shop and remembered the numbers wrong. The correct horns are in the ailerons and I was measuring at the flap junction, so think the servo arm shouldn't have been cut to 1/2 in per the manual but left long. One more hole would do it I think. Your comment that at high rate the ailerons are sluggish is valuable and tells me I need to fix this before I fly. Thanks!

The manual actually says 23 mm up on high rate and 21 mm up on lower rate. Do you have the correct Horns glued into the ailerons? You are measuring at the widest point correct? Even at the high rate the Ailerons are sluggish. I would then increase the servo arm length out one more hole.
