I was not able to get more than 20 flights on the plane before my header into the deck. The plane will do whatever you tell it to. It is very precise and can carve out some beautiful lines. It rolls very fast and you do not need the full reccomended travel on the ailerons, at least not for the maiden. Snaps the best I have ever seen. Blenders, spins, and hover were very nice. The greatest asset of the plane was its slow speed handling, it really did float very nicely for such a precise machine. It really is an awesome all around performer.

The only negative was a slight snapping tendency when given full deflection on the elevater while traveling at decent speed. My elevater halves were not perfectly aligned so that could have been the problem. I was going to try to correct for the snaping by bending the halves straight and adding a little up trimo each aileron. Actually, I did both. Too bad I forgot to push the silicone tube over the clevis at 2:00 AM and didn't check them till my Freestyle had carved out a pit in the dirt!! I wish I could tell you if it slved the problem, but i'll have to wait till I get the other one done to see.

You'll love the plane, just make sure you do a pre flight inspection like we are supposed to do!!

Mine came out at only 4 1/4" lb with a ys .63. What are you going to power it with?
