Well today was finally the day. Mariano and i went to fly the cation. All i can say is wow. The ony mix i programmed was 2 percent down elev to throttle and set a snap and stall turn cond
ition. The weight without battery is 3630 grams. It is all composite stab as well. I do not have the pics with me at this moment maybe mariano will post some tonight.

It is true the plane looks very sleak but trust me it is not. The fuse is very wide from the trailing edge of the wing back especiially the fin and stab. The prototype called austral really impressed me with its down line speeds. It had a totally different wing stab configuration causing some other problems but i knew mariano was on to something with the fuse.

We designed the new wing and stab together and the took all the things learned from the genesis to the de ja vu and applied them accordingly. Mariano did all the cad work for us for the wing and then designed the stab himself for the cation.

To be honest i really wasnt thrilled with the swept elev hinge line but went along with it thinking it should be ok seeing as how the elev should only need to move equal amounts to work correct.

I set it up like any plane 1 dgree positive on the wing and the stab .5 neg. I knew when it took off that was what it needed but i did not expect the elev to feel so smooth and solid. It is incredible. After coming home and thinking about i believe thhe swept hinge line is similiar to built in expo. I remembered my old conquests with the swept fin post and how smooth the rudder was. Granted on rudder it is not ideal but maybe it is an advantage on elev where mechanical and electrical advantange is so important.

Anyway i really want to thank daniel falco for the molds and hard work Sergio Testa for the help with the plugs Marcelo for the laser cutting and especially Mariano for his ability to draw in cad what we talked about in broken english and spainish.

last but not least we are offering the first 5 planes at a very special price. this only because of the fact it took several months longer then exspected to finish this project and i want to help our composite guy re coupe his investment. as you all know money is tight especially here. please im me or email me for the details and i assure you you will be glad you did
