I agree with your thoughts on design modification. I have a little experinence with scale models so increasing the fin size is somthing that i almost do by default. I will try .034 (.86mm) The gym that i fly in is quite tall but it is not like the kibbie dome or anything like that. I do no think that there is anything like that in Australia?? here is a video of one of my freinds EZB flying in the gym in question.

I am not familiar with that particular plan. However, based on my
experience, I think you are on the right track with the information below. Two
comments. I doubt that you need to increase the rudder area, but doing so won't hurt
either. I think the 0.030" rubber will prove to be too small. If you are
flying in a typical gym, I would use a 13"-15" loop of 0.034" rubber. The thicker
rubber will improve the cruise portion of the flight. If you are not happy
with the results, look around for a proven design & build it exactly as shown.
Don't try to improve it until you have a good base line of experience with
the proven design.

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
