I was finally able to maiden my plane yesterday. What a beautiful plane....... great work of Skymaster.

Maiden flight was done by Michel from www.jetsrc.com Just a few clicks and the airplane was flying straight. Actually, it seemed like the airplanes was flying on rails. Couple of rolls, inverted flying and everything went OK. When applying full flaps, only a very small nose down tendency. When trying stall speeds, the airplane doesn't drop a wing but it starts sinking fast. That happened to Michel in his first landing approach. Second approach was perfect but as soon as the plane was on the ground, the wings started rocking.

For the second flight I took the controls and I was amazed to see that this planes is so fast. Just half throttle and the plane is really moving. Full throttle.... and the verticals are huge. For normal flying, the plane behaves like a trainer, plus is so easy to see in the air because of those big tanks.....

I was really amazed to see how light the plane is. Haven't weighted it yet, but it is lighter tan my MB-339 and Viper Jet.

Just thinking if a Giro can help with the wing rocking issue during the landing. In the meanwhile, I'm going to install some fiber carbon tips under the tanks in order not to scratch them

Besides the wing rocking at landing, the plane has no bad tendencies. When turning, it doesn't drop the nose like my MB-339 so keeping it at the same flight level is really easy.

In general...... very happy with the plane. Plus is great to see something that is not the typical modern fighting jet.

I equipped mine with a Jetcentral Rhino, JR 8711 servos, Power Box Royal, Futaba receivers and a Airpower 5 EVO air valve. Everything worked great.

CG was at 190 mm and very little lead was needed in the nose. I will try to take some more detailed pictures next week.
