Hi there all, I am looking for some expert guidance on a beginers level
A6. I am not new to free flight, but am i new to A6. I have built lots
of peanuts and have actually won an Indoor peanut scale contest. I made
an A6-5a by bruce mcrory. I did enlarge the rudder,The plan indicated
that the rudder had been reduced in size as a test to see how it went.
I did not need that agrivation to start out with so i increased the
rudder by about 15%. The models all up weight is 1.2 grams. It is
covered in pre shrunk condensor paper and i am looking for some expert
advice on trimming. My prop blades are set at 45 degrees to one another
and i have used a twisted wire pigtail prop hangar.

I plan on using .030 rubber to start with as per the plan and we will
see how i go from there. If there is anyone out there with some tips
that would be greatly appreciated.

regards
Matthew
