6. BALLAST
In the kit included are:
- 1x carbon rod
- 1x steel rod
- 2x short steel rods
You can use these rods as follows:
-
1x carbon rod
for
weak conditions
in the front hole.
Adjust the CG of the plane with this rod inside.
To optimize the center of gravity we have removed this
front opening.
-
1x 1x steel
rod
for
stronger conditions
To optimize the center of gravity we have removed the
foremost opening.
1x carbon, 1x steel rod + 2x short steel
for
even stronger
conditions.
To optimize the center of gravity we have removed the
foremost opening.
-
For extra strong conditions
you could put into a
40cm long
steel rod
and two
20cm steel rods behind
. That ballast
weights
700g
.
When you fly with this setting, you have to take care that you
don`t overload the wing structure
. So use the elevator
softly, when you fly with that much ballast. Remember also
that the landings have to be much softer with such an
additional weight.
