Default RE: Twin Lizzie Build

Well first flight went well. Very nice in the air, plenty of power with the 52s. Ground handling is wicked. Although take off drifted to the left (which it should due to tork) rudder didn't seem too efective

Or due to nerves I didn't correct enough. Landing was 3 point and smooth however a roll out of about 20 feet and it did a 90 deg right turn and ground looped. Second flight resulted in 10-15 roll and immediate 90 deg turn to the right and a ground loop, way too fast of a turn for any rudder to be efective.

Gonna track and measure the main gear to see if its way off, might try some slight toe in.

sorry forgot to film the test flight but here's the second attempt
