This episode we tested the Shrike after making small adjustments to CG, throws, etc. to add additional stability and control. We also tested it for general wing loading with dead weight to simulate carrying FPV gear and an APM2. It flew just fine with an extra 250 grams of dead weight, which is a little more than the equipment we’ll be adding.
Question for you: what level of wing loading have you tried and how has it effected your flight dynamics?
See you Wednesday,
-Trent & Nick
