Had a great maiden today, running K80G and Trim Air Electric Retracts with Hitec 5645mg Servos all around.
Predictable and smooth with only a few clicks of elevator trim.

Landing was just perfect but she decided to take off again with a rise in our runway, plus i should have cut the nose strut a fraction shorter. I was warned!. All good, added a little bit of thrust and touched down nicely a second time but didn't have much runway left as you can see in the pic. Perhaps 10 meters. I've done a few minor tweaks and we're ready to go again..

I don't know what you guys think but the flap seems a little more like an air brake to me

Looking forward to having many weekends of good flying with this bird.
Anyone thinking this might be a good weekend flyer at your club or just a good sports jet.... just do it
