Well, 7 flights into it and here is an update.

So far only two incidents, both while landing. The first was a depth perception issue, plane is smaller than it looked, I thought it was closer to me and wound up catching tall grass and flipping it over, but since it was going slow it never touched ground.  Second one was yesterday, it has good hang time and while bringing it in, got caught in the cross breeze when it got past the barn, I was trying to set it down before it got there, but that bugger just hung in the sky. Once it got past the breeze swung it nose first towards us, and when it touched down, caught the grass clippings I was trying to avoid, and cartwheeled.  Nothing broken, but did tweak the elevator and munched the trailing edge at the tip a bit.  I put it back up after that and had to readjust trim as it had more down elevator after that rough landing.

Anyhow, here is something to keep in mind if you are looking to buy one of these.  They don't like grass if its more than 2" tall. I had to have the lane hand launched last night, I could not take off from the ground because the grass was too tall. I have oversized wheels installed for better clearance, but didn't help, and here is why.

I brought it in to the shop after flying to readjust the elevator trim after the bad landing, and gave the plane a once over. What I noticed is the motor has a lot of down thrust, which explains why it appears to dig into the ground when trying to take off.  If I were to install a 3" wheel on the nose it would bring the motor shaft parallel to the ground and would alleviate the ground digging, but a 3" wheel wont fit.

During the inspection I also found two issues, one that explained poor ground handling, the other would have been a disaster in the air had I not found it.  The nose gear arm was hitting the foam so I could only turn right, left was being blocked by the foam, which also explained the strange rudder behavior. A little digging out of foam, problem solved.  The second issue is one that anyone who has this plane should check out, the prop shaft had come loose on the motor. It was tight when I first put the plane together, but the set screw had worked itself loose. I noticed the prop seemed notchy, as if the motor had a bad bearing, and I also noticed it looked like it wobbled, then I noticed that the prop would move before the motor did, and found the problem.  I took it apart and cleaned the motor shaft with a file since it got a little nicked up, and put it back together with some lock tight.  Check your prop!

BTW my last flight was good, the landing was picture perfect, put it right where I wanted it, and it touched down on all 3 wheels nice and soft.  Missing the grass clumps is a good thing. Missing the cross breeze past the barn even better, catching the loose prop shaft before it came off in flight,  Priceless!
