Sounds like a great day at the field. You may already have one or more of these trimming charts but I thought I'd just post them anyway. One of the keys to smoothing your sequence is to use rudder...

That's one sweet looking canopy Matt. I guess the front hatch kept you from moving it any further forward. I like'm up front a bit more to help with KE performance. Turtle decks help a little too but...

Yes it is. I fly glow, gassers and electric, they all have positive attributes. If I had to choose one it'd be glow.

Coming along nicely Matt and I'm enjoying seeing your attention to detail.
Hard to tell in the pics just how smooth/glossy the Solartex film is, just wondering how well the Monokote sticks to it.

Matt, looking great. Did you use a wire bender/coiler to make the the nose gear strut or buy it that way?

On those nose wheel/rudder combo servos do you mechanically set up the nose wheel to have...

The 55ax does well on pattern planes that build to 6.25 lbs. or less AUW. The 75ax seems to be a common choice for 60 size pattern planes.
