Setup of the plane
The important parameters here are the CG and the deflection levels of the control surfaces.
As a first step insert and connect all needed radio gear in the plane. Again, you can use
figure 15 as a rough guide for placement of each part. In the very nose deposit about 120g of the
conventional lead shots in a sealable plastic bag. Add or remove lead to get the CG at 115 cm behind
the wings leading edge. If you undersand the exact amount of lead needed to achieve this, heat it up,
stick the nose into sand to prpare a negative form and pour the liquid lead into the sand for
hardening. The so created lead block can be glued into the nose using UHU endfest. To achieve the
adviseable CG of 110mm behind the leading edge add a little more removeable lead into the nose,
as needed, and fix with 5min epoxy.
I personally prefere quite large deflection levels at all control surfaces. Start with a clean
channel at your RC transmitter. If you are new to F3F planes stick to my recommendations in figure
20. If you are an experienced F3F pilot you will probably want to modify some of the setings to your
liking right away. In any case, Strega will work very well using my recommended settings but they
are just a starting point and should be modified to your own personal preference as you get more
and more experience on Strega.
