well, maiden was mixed.

plane flew well, but roll rate was very slow.
turned left under power, glided straight, so some right thrust was required.
once trimmed, flew straight, but very 'mushy' in recovery from manouvres. Again, could be some learning and adjustment required from pilot!
cuban eights fine, loops fine, inverted ok, rolls slow and 'mushy', but that could have been the pilot.
landing approaches straight and fuss free. Glide easy to manage.
on third battery, though, managed to stall it, drop a wing and it now needs a new nose.
wing fine,
never mind, a few hours work will see it back in the air.
91 sized electric seemed about right. Takeoffs at about 70% throttle. Plenty in reserve, vertical performance fine
