Again, I misspoke that the maiden was on Sunday when it was so windy. I had a couple of quick flights on Saturday so I knew the plane was flying well.
Reguarding the maidening of me planes, I'm glad to be past the point of having someone else maiden my planes. I've found that by checking everything and setting the plane up to specs most of my maidens have been uneventfull. A couple of click one way rote other at most. Then I can experiment with the CG a bit. Learned my biggest lesson on a flat out 3d foamy that I had the elevator reversed. Flight didn't last long but It was a good plane to have it happen on as an easy repair. This was after spending quite a bit of time setting my controls and dual rates, I never noticed the reversed elevator...
The wind at our club field is erratic, probably due to the trees? The local park seems to have steadier air and is not as much of a problem.
