Hello,
Just had a quick question. On my WM Punisher 3, I noticed that once it left the rail, it wanted to wiggle left and then right. And then it flew nice and straight. Acting tail heavy? It was flying on a K550. The flight before that on the same day it flew on a J415. It did a little wiggle but not quite as much as the K550. So, I am trying for a nice straight flight all the way. I was thinking the the average impulse of the J415 and K550 should of been enough of a kick off the pad to keep it going nice and straight. Maybe not?
The wind was probably between 5-10 MPH.
I had a little over 0.7 calibers of stability. Sounds like not enough but should be fine for the Punisher?
Do I need to go with a higher average thrust? Like a J800? Or for all of you Punisher fliers, what should be the minimum average impulse that I should stick with so I can try for a nice straight flight?
I built it stock with the exception of foaming the tail can.
My very first flight was on a H550. I thought that it flew nice and straight on that. 1,400 feet.
I know its not the rocket, it's something that I am not doing quite right.
Thank you!
