I was able to maiden my BiSide last week, but it was cold and windy, so not much for taking pictures. I was happy with the initial flights, but couldn't do much adjusting due to the weather. I went out yesterday on a beautiful day and put in 4 more flights on it. Very happy so far. Very solid airplane and should take minimal work to get it flying as I want. Right now, just adjusting rates for various maneuvers and seeing what I like best. CG is where BJ suggested and so far I seem happy there. I did use 4 Futaba BLS 173HV's on the ailerons and it is much improved over the F3A company plane I was playing with, which only used two servos in the bottom wings and the rods that are supplied. I definitely think the roll axis is much crisper, and it is especially noticeable in snaps. Weight is no issue at 4702g with TP 5400 Pro Lite packs.

Still work to do, but so far I'm happy,
