Default RE: Hempel 50% BD5 Build

Well, While trying to upload a couple of videos...Let me tell you that The BD5 flys pretty well..... Testing done today with a fairly steady crosswind....

Two points of interest..

1. YES, A BD5 flys level with DOWN trim..... Took off with about 2 clicks of up.....Rhino pushed it out at better than 45 degrees at takeoff rotation. Spent the next few min. trying to click in down trim...

2. Missed the first approach, upon applying full power and pulling flaps, plane took a downward bobble when power hit.. Probably will just apply power and climb out dirty.. I'm sure a throttle mix with elevator will fix issue.

I LIKE IT !!!!!!! Rain started heading in...But got the first flight .....Ready for the next
