Hang Test

[jdalexa]

I did a hang test of my Dominator this last weekend. It hung at 11.1 degrees. Two questions.
- what is the preferred range for the dominators?
- what is the weight of a 25 ft set of dragon wing blades and hub?

Thanks much. Wish I could have been at Bensen Days.

John,
Was Dad able to answer your questions when you spoke to him yesterday?

[jdalexa]

Yes he did, Mike. Thanks for the follow-up. One other thing though. Do you guys have the brake bands and the tires and tubes for main and front? I don't need the whole assy, just the rubber and the brake bands.

Thanks

Could one of you guys please answer the original questions? Where do you measure the angle on the Dominator? Thanks

The numbers that Ernie gave me were 9-12 degrees measured from the keel. I guess mine is a little on the nose heavy side, but within specs. It's also quite heavy, but I'm not sure where the weight is.

Yes, John he has what you need give him a call.

Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner. I was told 0-5 degrees down on the mast. Which in turn would be 9-14 on the keel. Mine also came out very heavy and I have no idea why. Empty weight is about 410 lbs. Still flies good though, even with my fat A$$. :)

Okay... I don't feel so bad then. Mine tips the scales at 384 lbs.
