Just finished my maiden flight this afternoon. Beautiful day, sunny and 68 deg with about a 3 mph wind. This was my first gasser and I had problems with my quadra 35, until I worked through the techniques for getting it started. Ranged checked it with the motor running to make sure I was not getting radio interference. Taxied it up and down the field several times to get a feel for how it tracked and then poured on the gas. No problems at all, it tracked straight as an arrow with very little right rudder required. No trim required an any of the controls.. The plane flies like a dream and lands as smooth as silk. I built it pretty much per plans, except that I beefed up the landing gear mount and put a 3/16” spring steel rod on the aluminum gear as described in other posts. Used a Sullivan tail wheel with the spring attachment to the rudder, to protect the servos. Balance was prefect with no additional weights required ..Flew a total of two full flights and decided to take it home to do a post flight check. All I can say, is that it is a very good kit that produces a great flying plane.. Fred123
