Re: 35% AMR Decathlon Build A long overdue update on the Decathlon. I haven't been able to fly it as much as I would have liked. On my second outing to the field with it, a radio glitch during landing flare caused me to rip the landing gear out.  With all the hours I put in during March to get this thing finished, I needed to set it aside for a little while and get on with Summer. Anyways, I patched up the fuselage and finally got her back in the air. I also replaced the Eq6 which I think was the source of the radio glitch. I've had about 10 flights on it since the repair and am finally starting to get used to it. After flying a Dalton 260 heavily for 4 seasons, the Decathlon sure is taking some getting used to. I'm going to have to troll the Hangar 9 Decathlon threads to get some tips on mixing. Here are some pictures from yesterday. ... |

Re: 35% AMR Decathlon Build Thanks guys! I'm really glad to finally have it in the air... and to bring it home again in one piece! Here's a proper link to the video:
You get to watch me pacing around like crazy as I assemble the plane. The first flight the camera was pointed out the front of the cockpit. The second flight I pointed the camera out towards the left wing tip. One thing I noticed in the video is that the left cockpit window seems to be de-laminating a bit - I need to add some more glue there. There also seems to be a ton of vibrations at mid-throttle. The plane doesn't seem to shake badly at all in person, so I'm wondering if it's just hitting a resonant frequency of the GoPro mount. I'll look closer next time I fly. Cheers! Tom |

Re: 35% AMR Decathlon Build Great video! I enjoyed watching. Beautiful, unique airplane that won't be confused with an ARF. |

Re: 35% AMR Decathlon Build Quote:
The rain this morning meant that I didn't have a lot of time so I really only got two quick flights in. My first impressions is that after a long time only flying Daltons, Krills, and other IMAC style airplanes, this will take some tweaking and getting used to. My initial setup had a little too much elevator, and I definitely need to program in more differential ailerons and maybe some aileron to rudder mixing. I have some video from this morning uploading. It should appear online here sometime tonight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUJ1W...ature=youtu.be Anyways, once I have a dozen or so flights in I'll post my impressions  Tom |
