Re: Climbing issues
stick with high number of rotations, use a torque meter to measure climb and observe stall at a specific initial torque. Then, wind your rubber until it is near breaking and dewind to a torque value you know your plane can safely climb yet not stall at. Other things you could try are potentially lig...

Re: Boomilever B/C
Another noob question! Is there a way to avoid having to bend the tension members so that they can be closer together where they attach to the j-hook?

I walked away from comp, thinking I bombed all of my events and felt like I wasted a year of work. At that point I honestly felt like SciOly wasn't worth it. It wasn't unt...
