I have had several flights on mineand she is now flying great!! Knock on wood!! I was hoping to have some video but what video I saw of it wasn't worth posting as it was a second here or a second there and it was pretty much straight and level and nothing more..

I removed the wheel pants asthe nose gear block came out on one flight. When the nose gear collasped it put a nice hole in the bottom of the fuse. I glued that blockback in with Hysol so it will take dynamite to get that block out ever again. Patched up the hole and she is almost as good as new.

I was having an overheating problem with the OS 45 FSR in there. First I opened up the hole for the exhaust and it was better but still not right. Since I had the cowl off to fix the nose gear block,Ialso took the opportunity to block off the one hole in the cowl with some G-10. No overheating issues now. When I take her up now, she is in the air so long I get my chops busted about staying up all day long.....Or what do you have in there a full fuse tank? Gotta love it....

As for the flaps I had some down mixed in on full flaps.Originally about 5%was added but she was still ballooningupon deployement. Each flight I increased the % down until it stopped which ended up being about 13%. Now when the flaps go down, she don't go up or down, and you can see it start to slow down.She does need the flaps, otherwise she will float forever. I was using thepartial flaps on take off only but stopped using them as it seemslikeshe doesn't really need them to get airborne.

This plane is a blast to fly and is a good "ole reliable" to take out there.
