Hi all!
I'm interested in hearing from people who have already flown their plane. What is your all up weight? With what equipment? And, how would you describe the wing loading? Does the plane fly light or heavy?

I have flown mine 3 times. Nothing 3d but It will hover with a saito 100 - slow pullout. After lightening the gear and nose mine weighs about 8.75 pounds. fortuneatly it flies pretty lightly. It has been pretty windy when Ive flown it and landing in to a 10+ mph wind is almost like landing a trainer. Used hitec 425's on ailerons, 545 HT on elevator and 605 on rudder in stock locations. battery way in the back. balances at about 4.5" and almost feels tail heavy to me when flying. The elevator seems very sensetive, but overall I think the plane flies pretty nicely, It reminds me very much of my MW lil cap witout the tip stall. No correction is needed for knife edge. will KE all day with low rate rudder
