My Enduro won turn as tightly as my Predator. Whats wrong?

0

While the Enduro is very maneuverable, it will NOT turn as tightly as the lightly loaded Predator. The Predator is a combat plane designed to loop tightly. The Enduro is bigger, heavier, and more versatile, but will not turn with a Predator. If you want your plane to loop tighter, try adding some washout. Here’s how: Apply twist to the wing so that the wing panel tip is twisted down at the LE and the TE twists up. Take a covering iron and iron out wrinkles that appear in the covering while holding the twist — especially from the center of the panel to the outer third section. Don’t heat the other wing half yet. Remove heat and smooth covering while it cools. Don’t forget the wing bottom covering either. Now repeat for other wing half. Fly the plane and make sure you have not introduced roll trim imbalance. If so, then twist again and heat only one wing panel to add more wash out to the panel that produces the correct roll direction to even out the aileron trim. Fly again to check roll
