Default RE: The new Tornado sport jet

I maden mine last weekend, sorry no video
It flew very well and very stable
Only modifications I made were in the struts, I shortened the front strut by 3/4" so the plane was level wile sitting on the ground, I was afraid that the take off may be abrupt but actually it takes off by itself
For does how are thinking in bigger turbines please don't, mine has a Bee II but I'm flying at 7500' over sea level, that means that the turbine looses more than 30% of the thrust and the airplane lift is affected in the same way and I was cruising at less than half throttle, full throttle passes were very fast (faster than I felt comfortable) and it can clime forever
CG and throws were the recommended and they are perfect for first flight
Sorry for the spanglish
