I flew the Texan tonight in perfect conditions, and I'm happy to report that it flys very well.

I was really nervous with the plane, as it is only my second low winger, so I had one of the club "experts" trim it out before handing me the box. Thankfully, I was worried for naught. The plane flys much slower than I thought it would, but the power is there when you want it with the Magnum .80

The poor ground handling that I'd read so much about never materialized; it tracked straight with minimal rudder correction.

All things considered, the plane has surpassed my expectations so far. Can't wait to fly her again!
