move the Super Cub wing?

[polo05]

WHAT WOULD happen if the super cub wing is modified to be placed in the middle instead of on top ?

would u think if would be more acrobatic ?

would it be able to fly inverted with no problems?

does it sound like a bad idea to try or what ?

I dont have any experience in these sorts of things, but I would guess you would need to adjust the Dihedral of the wings to make it more acrobatic, but I dont really know.

With some practice it will fly inverted stock. You have to catch it at the right time in a loop and apply full up elevator. Do this HIGH up. It doesn't sustain height well and you need room to drop out of it with a SERIOUS dork. Seems to do better if you are heading into the wind.

Anyone thought of doing this?

[polo05]

no, but that looks cool!

i think it would be more stable if u do that !!

I think it would be less stable and possibly more manuverable... but the SC is pretty much perfect for what its designed for so I don't see the point.

As for flying upside down, You can almost hold alt if you push the trim slider all the way up just as you go upside down and hold the elevator with the stick. It seems to give you a little extra travel.

I haven't tried this but if you really want to be able to cruise upside down, you can always trim a bunch of "down" with the clevis adjustments, compensate for it with the slider on the Tx and change the trim on the Tx when you're ready to go inverted.. that should give you enough..

With the wing high and the fuse suspended gravity will always try keep the fuse on the bottom. If you put the wing in the middle the only difference would be a lose in the planes self righting ability. It would not make flying inverted easier because the battery weight is still concentraited on the bottom of the plane so gravity will still try to keep the plane from flying inverted but the weight will have less leverage opposing a roll. that means if you have ailerons the roll rate will increase because the weight is closer to the wing.

If inverted flight is your goal
A) get ailerons
B) get a symetrical wing
C) get a flat wing
D) get a mid or low wing.
E) get a plane with a large elevator

If I were going to make the SC aerobatic I would
A) add a wing spar and ailerons loose the struts
B) add a good 4 channel radio
C) add a 480 or larger Brushless outrunner motor with a good prop
D) clip the wing and make it flat
E) lighten the plane as much as possible
F) reinforce the tail and add as much throw as possible
G) add a Lipoly battery
H) cover the plane in bright colored Econocote for strength/visability
I) move all the weight as close to the wing as possible.
J) You now have a plane that should do just about every manuver in the book.

I think if you made the SC biplane, you'd also want to clip the wings. Lots more drag, though, so you'd definately need to go with big brushless/lipo power.
