RE: Wish me luck!

Nice looking Dawg, glad to hear the maiden went well. Sounds like you may want to move the CG

I learned to fly on a SPAD Debonair a few years back and I thought it flew great but I didn't have anything to compare it to. Since then I've built at least a dozen other SPADs and I thought they...

It flies very well, stable on the high speed runs and corners very quick.

I was wondering if you radared the Dawg's flights at the funfly or if you did a Doppler analysis.
