Flew again today, just over two years since the Maiden flight. The power of the JB220 is phenomenal, but frankly it needs to be, this thing is HEAVY on take-off, needs lots of power to fly straight & level, at least 50% throttle to pull out of a dive, or she will pancake, you can switch to high alpha mode but thats a bit advanced.
Landing needs a high approach, speed brakes deployed, 50% throttle coming out of the final turn, high nose, balanced with the power & fly her all the way down, flare in ground effect, apply a little brake and roll to a stop an the runway to avoid a tip up.
I'd suggest anyone flying this aircraft needs to be very aware of the power requirements to make it fly, if in the turn you back off the throttle too much the nose will drop, of fall out of the groove, just keep the power on.
I'm kinda writing this for my self but wanted to share my thoughts.
I fly for a Minimum of 9 minutes before attempting a landing due to the excess fuel weight in the main tank.
