I have now 42 flights with the Arixtra and I can definitely say that it is the best F3A plane I ever had.

My friend Amram Leshed who is one of the best F3A pilot in Israel (and also an international F3A judge) saw the plane flying today and said that this is the best F3A plane he had ever seen!!! (Amram is well known here in Israel as one who can observe any tiny undesirable movement of a plane).

Today I finished calibrating the plane for knife edge loop.

This plane has a very big fin and the fuselage side area is about 10% bigger than the Xigris. It does a knife edge loop with ease, you need only half of the rudder movement in order to do a knife edge loop, compared to the Xigris and almost no need for mixing, amazing!

Here are the mixing rates it needs for knife edge loop:

The rudder stick movement is from – 45% to + 45%.

I use Spline mixer type for knife edge mixing.

Rudder to Aileron:
Position point Rate
-50% 0%
-25% 0%
-10% 0%
0% 0%
+10% 0%
+20% -0.5%
+50% -0.5%

Rudder to Elevator:
Position point Rate
-50% 0%
-30% 0%
-20% 0%
-10% -0.5%
0% 0%
+10% -1.5%
+20% 0%
+30% 0%
+50% 0%
