Hi,
Surely used the provided hig speed tape - protection shield on the area, close to the exhaust.
Applied it as a normal decal, water with some cleaning detergent product, so you can slide it until it fits as you want.
Then squize the fluid under the tape with a spatula and let it dry overnight. Works nicely.

-Flaps/crow as recommended by Glider-it
-Landing mode condition: Flaps/crow proportional controlled by my throttle stick. Stick middle to up is turbine idle to full power.
Stick middle to down:
1 turbine stays idle or off.
2 Flaps/crow neutral to deployed (fully proportional).
Works amazingly.

Hi,
All the same as Didier, but programmed a “Landing” flat mode, which deactivates the turbine control from the throttle stick function. (Normally, the turbine is at idle or OFF for landing)
In stead, the throttle function controls my butterfly in this landing mode, so I can keep the thumbs on the sticks at all time.
Just one remark is that I’m suspecting a incorrect incidence angle of the stab. In every phase, the elevator had to be trimmed up about 2mm, which is way to much.
Shifting the CG gives no change. Plan is to measure the incidence later this week, and adapt the stab accordingly. Suspect I’ll have to shim 1mm approx.
my s/n of the Jeemo is 2049, and I know that a fellow Jeemo pilot, with a slightly newer one had to trim up around the same.

Hello Eric, could you send me the cutting file for your wooden supports for the inside of the Jeemo please?
(I can buy it too)

Well, during the maiden flight, I found out that 5mm up trim was needed for level flight.
This quickly made me think about the incidence of the stab. I then started to add strips of masking tape
onto the back of the platform where the stab is mounted, centered over the aft attachment bolt of the stab.
These strips allow to fine adjust the incidence till no up trim is required any more.
in my case it ended up with approx 2.3mm of thickness. Will post some pics once I’m back home.

It would be interesting to know if other Jeemo owners have same up trim requirement.

This is how it looks like, the masking tape stripes
