Default RE: Europa S Pro

well i finaly maidened her.
the all up weight is 3580g which is pretty good cos can use any batteries.

the flight charecteristics were pretty good, compared to the old plane it sits more solid in the air and has much more rudder authority.
stall turns are easy at low throws and integrations require half the rudder throw the previous version does. snaps are alot better due to
the bigger ailerons and reduced wing area. despite the higher wing loading the plane feel very light in the air.

it is strange to notice that the knife edge coupling is to the canopy, but this can be a result of forward CG. upline and down lines also pulled to the canopy which is a good thing
and improving one will inprove all of them.

couldnt roll straight because i was giving too much rudder where it was not needed and def need to adjust the diff as have a top hinged aileron.

was testing the plane with all surfaces at 0 so should be able to able to fix most tendancies with positive wing and down thrust as well as manipulating the cg.

over all i am a happy camper.
