Sure! Trim simply means to change or adjust different aspects of your plane to make it fly better. Usually these aren't big changes, but they are enough to cause change in the flight. For example, if you have a detachable wing where your wing posts attach to the fuselage, you can lift one post up a little or down a little to have a different angle of attack or incidence. Another thing you could do to trim would be if you had an adjustable tail boom, like having a tough yet malleable piano wire (short piece) going from the end of the motor stick to you tail boom. Then you could change the angle of the horizontal stabilizer up, down, left, or right which could help with turning or lift, etc.bernard wrote:Thanks for your suggestion! Could you explain what you mean by trim?InfiniCuber wrote:I would suggest that you first try tossing it lightly with the propeller on (no rubber) and if it seems to glide well, put some rubber on and some trim flights, many times I have done 30 turns with a 15:1 winder (it may depend on the thickness of your rubber, but really only if it is SUPER thin or thick). That should help you trim a bit, then go with higher winds, trim. Etc!bernard wrote:Our team is almost done with our plane.anyone have recommendations for starting to test the plane? In Elastic Launched Glider last year we started with just letting the glider glide easily without launching it. Is there a similar approach people use with Wright Stuff to make sure the plane n't break on the first test?
Hope this helps!
