Theres more back story than I wrote about. He's not a beginner he's been flying and building since before I was born and is a retired engineer. I trust his builds, assemblies and general set ups. Hes aging and Im happy to help him continue to fly wether Im the only one flying his creations or helping him fly something he can handle.

Preflight I checked all functions for the correct direction and deflection and the factory prescribed CG. All looked good so we took off and the flight was uneventful.
