Q1_Aircraft: Maiden voyage was created by pinemiser
Hi everyone, I finished my Q1 mods and took my first flight today. I
had my camcorder on the run way to record the first go. I don't know
the exact take off distance but it was under 4 seconds to lift off.
The landing was a little shaky, the controls are very responsive. I
need a little practice. My left wing wanted feels heavy during flight.
I had to use some pressure on the ailrons to keep wings level. By
weight they are exactly the same. I'm thinking the thrust is causing
this? Any suggestions on how to correct this? Thanx Marvin

Marvin,
Congratulations on your 1st flight ! I had this issue on my dragonfly and
adjusted the ailerons left down a turn, right up a turn to offset it. Left down
creates a hair more lift and stops the left pulling tendancy.

Good Luck !
