sjhanc,
After seeing your video, although it's not the same as seeing it in person, I was impressed with it's performance with the DA 50! I agree with you, the flight envelope of this plane is very good. My old AW P-51 would want to tuck into the turn if you pulled a little too hard where as this one just turns tighter. I balanced mine at the very rearward part of the CG range and is not pitch sensitive at all and requires just a touch of down elevator with inverted flight. Landings are a breeze also, just keeping a little throttle over the threshold of the runway, then letting the plane settling down on its mains. The only thing I had to get used to, was taking off a little slower as the electric gear don't like to retract if the air load on them get too high. I just use a half flap setting and take off about 1/2 throttle, hit the gear switch, and wait til the gear are up before advancing the throttle. Works great.
