Avanti S 80 mm EDF Jet flown by Mike at Cardinals Airfield, Hebron, KY, July 16, 2022. Ground camera video provided by RC Roland. Check out his channel at / @gwrrolan
Every time I attempt A low speed pass my plane tends to climb, I figure it’s do to a combo of power, trim, or the fact I always do them in a headwind. Any tips to help keep it low?
@@rcnfo1197 makes sense now haha that’s exactly how my plane is configured when I fly. So u would suggest putting the cg a little more aft and trim it down as well? From what I know some characteristics of a further CG will increase cruise speed but will also make the aircraft have undesirable & unstable stall characteristics? I guess I’m trying to ask if it’s a good idea to put it further & it that’s what you’re suggesting. I’m sure it depends on the aircraft as well, I fly an edf jet.
Nice 😊
Thanks. Nice camera work!
@@rcnfo1197 Any time 😊
What is that camera mount?
It's velcro: two pieces attached to the fuse, just forward of the stab leading edge, and two pieces attached to a Mobius camera.

Check your CG. If the plane has a forward CG and is trimmed for level flight at cruise, it will climb at higher speeds.
