RE: a10 maiden
Scott...... congratulations on your maiden. I hope to do mine this week.
Rcpete made a very interesting comment about the elevator. The plane does need a lot of up elevator in order to fly leveled. When Michel (Jetsrc) maidened his jet, he did had to apply a lot of elevator in his first flight. After the second flight, the elevator was adjusted and it was pointing up instead of being leveled. I have set mine in the same way.
I think Ali's A-10 is the same way.
