Experiment time.

My Swizzle plane was not keeping the lines tight in flight. That has to do with many factors but one is the location of the leadout line along the wing tip. I have been setting them so the plane hangs a bit nose down when hung from the leadouts and measured using a line level. Empty fuel tank. While off the ground speed and centrifugal force will keep it out on the lines. I figured that using a half tank of fuel and setting the leadouts so the plane was level would maybe help because the fuselage would be more in tangent to the circle producing less drag. I set up the plane this way. At the field the plane took off normally and flew normal until I starte to do maneuvers. Then the changes took over and I had a lot more line tension than before. That gives me more direct control which is a good thing. I did the same thing to the sister plane that was still in one piece. Overall line tension was better on this plane also. So I took the test mule Nomad and did the same change to it. Maybe fly it in the morning.
