just finished the braking in. I had plan 3 tanks of breaking in, but the plane is pulling so hard (dificult to keep it in the hand) that I decided to reduce the breaking in on ground and continue in flight.
If it fly it will have unlimited verticals, it's clear.......

every take off vertical at less than 1/2 throtle
and very fast and just wild
takes a durn good pilot on the sticks

Here is the wonder twin maiden flight report.
At the end of this afternoon the weather was dry and the wind calm, so I decided to go to the corn field next to my home with my normal wonder and the twin wonder in standby. After two flights with my normal wonder, I decided to give a try to the new thing.
My flight plan was simple: 10 minuts flight. First trim the plane at a reasonable cruise speed, and then explore the gliding performance by simulating deadstick aproachs.
I started the engines, and prepared myself for launch.
I made only two steps and launched the plane firmly at slight nose hig attitude. My elevator trim was set at two clicks up.
The plane departed firmly at full power and imediatly started a climb at an angle I estimate 30 degrees and accelerate. At 100 feet I lowered the nose, reduced the throttle to 1/3 and started a right turn. I started to perform rectangular paterns at constant altitude to trim the plane in the roll and yaw axle. Two clicks right trim were required. I felt the plane more than happy with 1/3 throttle, flying straight with a good control response.
I flown 7 minuts like that, just making nice paterns to feel confident with the bird.
After that I idled the two engines in donwind for a a simulated landing. I lowered a bit the nose and the plane glided at hig, but reasonable speed. I made that twice, going around at 10 feet and 1/3 throttle. My chrono showed 9 minuts at this time, so I decide to speed it up for a last pass . I puted 3/4 throttle and WOWWWWWW, it accelerated to a very fast speed . I made a slowwwwwwww victory roll during the last pass, entered the downind and shutdowned the two engines.
It's at the flair that I noticied a lack of elevator throw. The plane landed completly flat at too hig speed., Furtonatly there is no damages.
So it's a total success.
I can't give you more informations about the plane behaviours in accro and so on, because I only made one flight. I will post more infos on the plane performances as soon I will discover them
All my next inputs on that projects will be insert here
