Congratulations for bringing it back safely!
My all time favorite aircraft hope to see it at Abingdon.

Have you noticed that the ventral fins are the wrong way?

regards
Florent

Me thinks you'll have a better experience with this one than your previous T-Cat

Congratulations for your successful maiden flight.
Did you fly it again?
What are you going to reduce, elevator throw or spoiler throw?
I almost finished my F14.

Hi mhadjiky, I intend to carry out the second flight tomorrow (Sunday) I have reduced the taileron pitch and roll, as the spoiler is controlled by a mix that has also reduced.............More to follow.
