29.Balancing and rigging for maiden flight.
Balance your aircraft by supporting it under the wings at the root, where the wing mounts
to the fuselage. The balance range is 5.5 inches to 6.5 inches (140mm-165mm) from to the
front of the wing. This is from the front of the wing tube to the back of the wing tube.
For the initial flight, we recommend balancing at the front of the wing tube (5.5 ") and
only moving the CG back if you find that you need to after checking the CG in the air
according to the procedure outlined below.
If you prefer to check your CG by supporting the aircraft with a string around the wing
tube, then for the maiden flight, the aircraft should hang slightly nose-down when
supported by the tube.
Trimming your 79" Slick
We highly recommend fine tuning your CG using the 45 degree line test. Fly the aircraft
from left to right or right to left, whichever direction you are more comfortable with at 3/4
to full throttle. Pull the aircraft to a 45 degree up line and establish this line and
immediately roll the aircraft inverted. Establish this line and let go of the elevator stick.
Ideally the aircraft will continue to track on that 45 degree line for several hundred feet
before slowly starting to level off. Adjust the position of your battery to achieve this flight
condition. Once satisfied with the location of your CG scribe a mark on the battery tray so
that you can position the battery in the same location each flight and achieve the same feel
and flight characteristics each flight.
I also highly recommend taking the time to properly set up your rates and exponential
settings. Setting up low rates for precision maneuvers and high rates for aggressive
aerobatics and 3D flight will allow you to experience the best attributes of the Slick or any
aircraft for that matter. Here are some suggested rates to get started with. These are the
rates and exponential values I feel comfortable with. They may feel awkward to you and if
so please adjust to your taste.
Elevator: Low rate-8-10 degrees; 15-20% Exponential
3D rate-45-50 degrees; 40-50% Exponential
Rudder: Low rate-20 degrees; 45-50% Exponential
3D rate- 45 degrees; 60-70% Exponential
Aileron: Low rate-15-20%; 40-45% Exponential
3D rate- 45 degrees; 50-60% Exponential
