Velocity XL-RG

26.9k Sunnyskies  8.1 years ago

This is a replica XL-RG, a pusher-canard kit plane built by Velocity. It features accurate lights (AG1, and AG2 for the landing light), a very accurate size and shape, and a pretty close speed performance. The pitch is a little weak, but it can be trimmed up when cruising at top speed. Leaves the runway a little late at 115 mph, and you should try landing around that speed as well. Have fun with this little plane.

    @ElGatoVolador Thanks.
    @BogdanX I did try creeping the CoM back closer to the CoL to introduce a lifting tendency to counter the dip, but that made it lose stability when pushing to the stops, so I left it in the safe zone. All well.
