I do not claim to know for sure about your ES but most likely he or she will not take it apart to weigh. Mine had a clip that grab onto the plane and hang it down pulling on a scale. The whole plane stay intact the way you give it to him. I expect all ES to have a way to weigh it without changing an...

Just a quick and dirty approximate budget calculation. To get to a score of 3333 for Division C and no bonus point, you need a 4.5 grams tower. - Baking it before weighing, you can lose about 10% of the weight, so you need to build 5 grams tower. - For the 4 legs, let's use 1 gram 36" stick of ...

I am not sure but my sense is that to be able to do 3200-3500 score range, you need a big campaign of finding the one in a hundred or maybe a thousand pieces of the 4 legs. You can setup a test and bin procedure to test a vast number of balsa sticks and acquire 4 exceptional few of the pieces that h...

That technique is very cool.

How do you make a rubber with a weight in the precision of .001 gram? Maybe I am missing something or some special technique, but we are talking about a sliver of rubber at that weight. When I do mine, I make the first one by trial and error and estimating where to tie the knot to get closest and j...

I've been getting around 1:40 pretty consistently, though its max height is around 15 feet so there's still room to climb. Planning on building/buying a torque meter, as well as getting more rubber so I don't have to worry about conserving :ugeek: It has been a long time but there is this trick tha...

What is the time difference? You have the perfect experimental setup for you to test right in front of you.

We worked on the CG to be 1/2 in to 3/8 in in front of the Rear Wing Post--this was based on the instructions provided. So, it's confusing for you to say the Wing Leading Edge.... So, we should increase the wing incidence & if we get to where it is stalling, to lower it? We'll try raising the a...

The plane is gliding well, it is not stalling at all. Here are a few things I would do. - Make sure the balance point (center of gravity) is about 3/8 of an inch inside the wing leading edge. Do this with rubber motor attached. Reread the instruction on how to do this if you are not sure. - More imp...
