Nardi FN.305 from Mike Nassise plan

A couple flights of my Nardi FN.305 which I built from late Mike Nassise plan. The model has a 20.5" wingspan and weighs about 27g excluding rubber. In the first flight I used a 4g 4 strands of 3/32" rubber, which roughly resulted in a motor length of 1.5x hook-to-peg distance. This long motor made the glide quite unpredictable as the slack moved about in the fuselage after the motor run.

The second flight is with a shorter motor which has a length roughly equal to the hook-to-peg distance, with just enough slack to allow freewheeling. Multiple flight with this setup proved that the glide was much improved.

I'm now planning to install a rubber tensioner setup which allow me to use a longer motor without the problem of the slack moving about. GizmoGeezer could be a good way to go its weight is not going to pose a problem.
