Great advice ! Thanks everyone, flying the plane without constant rudder input is something I never thought about and was considering the opposite approach. I use a dx8 radio so mixing is not a problem, flying with 10 degree on flaps during landing was suggest by the previous owner. His point was that it slows the plane to what he called walking speed, but I will certainly try them up a bit higher the first time at a slower air speed. Looking forward to the maiden flight and I will post pics or a video before my first attempt. I don't have the luxury of a instructor unless somone lives close to Rockport washington. I will see if any clubs are near by before I try, would hate to crash it on the flight. Thanks.
