In Response To: Re: Flying the Hawk (Slith) : If the nose is very heavy, it's not inconceivable for some heavy weight : battery or some other doodad to be in the back end balancing it. You could, but then the CG would move aft, which is BAD. I actually came up with a slick way to add thrusters to the tail to counteract the pitch-forward moment. : Now, as for hover mode - how easily does it tip over into an unrecoverable
It has a stability-augmentation system to help keep you from flipping it over, but you certainly could if you wanted to. I've tuned it so it's still maneuverable, but also pretty docile. The bigger problem it has right now is transitioning from forward-flight to hover - it's a little tricky. ;-)
