Default RE: Tower Fun 51 Kit Build

Thanks for the kind words Tom! I maidened the Fun 51 today, and it went well. The elevator was more sensitive than I thought it would be, so took it easy. I'll have to add a little more expo for the next flights. I got a video, but the camera batteries died after a few minutes Roll rate is very fast (the rolls in the video were only about 1/2 throw), it knife-edges with hardly any coupling , and it slows down really well for landing (though it was a bit windy, so the ground speed was really low), and it set down like a feather. Plenty of power with the 52 4-stroke, even though I was running it pretty rich.

Looks like this is going to be a fun plane when I get used to it/dialed-in. I'll try to get a video of a full flight soon...
