Default RE: Royal Stuka

I flew her today. It came out a lot porkier than I originaly thought.. 9.5lbs was the final tally. The wing loading came out around 32oz/sqft. I changed the prop to 16x10 3 blade MAS. Tons of power. Half throttle flew scale. It had none of the tip stall characteristics I had read about with other royal stuka projects. Aileron was way out of trim, the ailerons required much more throw than I would have thought. I have a lot more flight testing to do for a final verdict, but so far so good. More batteries on order! Sorry no flight video... next time.
