A suggestion to the new Eurofighter pilot:
if you want to explore the full potential of this plane, fly it without the payload.
This plane is capable of nice and high alfa flying / landing after some stick time. you will love it!
Post flight view:
- no bad flight characteristic
- don't hold tooo high alfa on landing touch down if you are not prepare to scratch the tail cone
- the uptrim is a must before your maiden. I will try to provide the measurement again here soon.
- if you have rudder and try to do knifeedge flight, you need to correct the pitch
Overall, great flying plane and more imortantly a quick and easy build. I would say it is a plane that not only for advance pilot but good for beginner as well as long as you don't set the throw too aggressive.
May the duct force be with you (us)

OK. next misille test will advise the engineer to pre program the target profile as below: - male - white (hair??? or  ) - taller than me - having larger glass than me - may armed with bazooooka So if anyone match the above profile, please take care. |

OK, now the flight control update:
- CG now is 160mm from the wing root where it joint the fuse
- The up trim (or reflex) is 9mm
Those high power near 3D flights for around 5 to 6 minutes consumed 2700mah.

Thanks DT, did you realise that 9mm is almost 3/8"....? That is not bad sir on the pack suck as there was a lot of throttle management taking place.... |
