Default World Models' 40 size electric pattern plane

At the Livermore field on a windy day flying my fleet of World Models' 40 size electric pattern plane, including the prototype EPP foam Commander, the all balsa Super Taiji 40 EP, & the brand new EPO foam Commander.

Out of the three, I enjoy flying the Taiji the most. However, I only have time to put in three quick flights on the new Commander, still settling on the correct CG. First impression was very favorable, the plane snaps very clean & knife edge with a hint of pushing to the belly & rolling out with rudder. I'm planning on experimenting with some down thrust on the motor before the end of the week to counter some of the unwanted lift when throttling up on straight & level flight.
