Maiden flight report: flies great! Very little trim needed. 2 clicks right aileron, 3 clicks down and a bit of right rudder. Practically jumps off the ground. Very stable in the air. Coordinated turns work best. Very gentle stall characteristics. Ground handling was better than I expected. In light wind, I should have no problem taxiing. The only difficulty is the rollout after landing. It wants to turn left, which is not good. I ground looped the first landing. She was slowed down pretty good by that point and no damage was done. I have to hold a decent amount of right rudder after she touches down to keep her point mostly straight. Other than that, she flies great. I have posted video of a takeoff and slow fly-by.
