I finally got someone to take some flying shots. The wind was OK today but gusting at about 45 degrees across the strip so the landings were precarious. The model is finally flying well and I'm starting to get a feel for it. It's not exactly a hands-off type model and it's definitely sensitive on the rudder...which will eventually be a good thing. But I'd call it a good flyer.

I also had a chance to extend the safe flying time step-by-step to a full 10 minutes. It would probably go for 15 if I kept my thumb off the throttle. I was flying it a bit faster than I'd really like to, but with the bouncy wind I didn't trust myself let it put along on idle.
