Well finally got a chance to fly my Mephisto. Not really the best conditions, low cloud, quite dark and damp-but its such a sweety. Take off roll is around 40-45m and landing today with a 10mph head wind around 25m! Touch down on each of three flights only used 60m of the whole strip.
First flight with no gyro showed it does not really need one! No couple in KE and really solid all around. Second flight was to dial in the Royal SRS iGyro and third to test and tweek expo and travel in each mode.
A club member whose kit is on the way came to watch and he was very happy. Couldn't have gone much better as far as test flying goes. With the low cloud limiting vertical stuff 7 minutes only used just over half the tanks, vector and power will reduce that, hoping for better weather next time I can fly.
