<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He doesn't have any down yet, but does have about
4-5 degrees of right thrust since he is turning a 20X15 APC electric prop. I
don't know what type of mount he is using. I know it should have some down stick
when inverted, but right now, it takes a lot of down. He says as he has moved
back the cg, the plane has become easier to land (not so fast).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Emory, What is he using as a motor mount on the
electric, make sure he does not have up or down thrush in the motor, it
should be at 0 down with 2 degrees right. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>No
wing shimming was done but this plane even when</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>very tail heavy takes some down inverted, when
you are to tail heavy it will be a bear to land. I learned the hard way. I may
have stated the pitch wrong, under med rudder inputs i.e. normal knife edge no
mix, hard rudder</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>inputs knife edge loops etc. it will come to
the canopy slightly.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wanted some input from those of you that have
been flying a Quest from Creek Hobbies. A guy at my field is flying one and
is trying to get it trimmed correctly. He has it set-up using an electric
motor, similar to what Jason flew at the worlds. The power is great and the
speed is so consistent. He will be flying intermediate and I think that is
going to be a great plane. Anyway, here are my questions...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Where are most of you running your CG?
He has his about 1/2-3/4" behind what is recommended.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Did you have to adjust or shim the wing to
get the proper incidence?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Most of what I have seen posted on this list
about that plane is that it doesn't require any mixing. His pitches to the
canopy in knife edge and requires a lot of down pressure on the stick when
inverted. Any help is appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
