Guys,

Try not to sweat the maiden flight on your ships. The flight characteristics are so friendly both on the ground and in the air. You will be amazed.
I found no tendency to tip stall anywhere in the envelope. The flaps are super effective and do not really upset the plane when deployed .
The specified elevator throws will be a little much for scale flying but fine for test flying. Even ground handling is superb with no tendency to tip up on the nose. I expected a wicked torque reaction on takeoff but experienced virtually none.
I have flown many heavy warbirds that make you work for every flight but this one simply does not count. Just consider it a nice looking pattern plane!

Regards,

Doug Andre
