| I didn't wring it out too much since the YS 91 was brand new and the canopy has not been painted yet. First couple of tanks were mostly hovering and slow, low circiuts at 1600 headspeed. Very smooth, stable and precise once the cyclic was trimmed out.
On the third flight the needles were leaned out a few clicks and the head speed was bumped up to 1750. I also bumped up the collective pitch to +/-12 degrees. Still running sloppy rich, the Aurora really woke up. This bad boy is very responsive and extremely precise. I did some low high speed circuits and some big funnels. Tracking was perfect. Rolls and flips were lightening quick and on axis. Can't wait to put a high visability canopy on this thing, set the GV1 to 1850 rpm and bump the collective to +/-14! |
