Flaps T/Off. 14 degrees

In case someone needs it, I still have a nice CM-Jets kevlar fuel & smoke tank combo that fits a 3m Leonardo. It holds 6l of fuel and 1.5l of smoke oil. I also have a set of custom Revoc wing bags for this plane. Shoot me a PN in case anyone is interested.

Hi Wayne, beautiful jet, I’ve have one and often challenged with landing, which is crazy it’s such an easy jet to fly, I don’t think my landing flaps are down as much, I have the perfect approach and I have had it snap on me at 3 feet ( obviously too slow) and lots of ugly bouncing and certainly a floater. What CG are you set at.
thank you
Angus

I think because you don’t have as much flaps, she will keep floating and when it stalls, she is going to drop. Keep in touch! 👍 BTW.....As Thomas indicated earlier in his thread, the flaps will squeal....I like to hear it as I know it’s deployed, so it doesn’t bother me.

Flight was quite nice with not many errors, you've been practising and it shows....👍
The landing which is IMHO, the most difficult part of learning to fly jets, was OUt STANDING with that crosswind.
Congrats, looked great overall,

Takeoff was a bit iffy trying to get on the centerline but worked.
