I dont know If anyone is farmilar with this plane, It has 4 ducted fans and almost 4 foot wingspan. In it's stock form it steered by trust diferential, I've converted it to Throttle & elevons 3cell 1400 18c power.
Heres the questions, It has a real tendancy to go right under power (all engines turn the same way) tourque? It does steer left and right but verry sluggish, wont respond to turn control unless a bit of up or down added, not a big deal but why? When turning it does nice gentle circuits but if you roll it more than 4 or 5 deg it tipstalls bad with little chance of recovery under 50- 75feet why? The plane also has verry little dihedral thinking about adding more, good or bad idea?
The plane is a friends the electrics are mine It's a turd in stock for now It's slightly less of a turd, We're going to work on it tonight and try and get my buddy some stick time on real radio gear. Here are some pictures.
