Finally maidened her! I only got one flight in yesterday as the wind kicked up quickly. It is a bit nose heavy and required some up trim, but other than that she flew great. When the gear was retracted, I believe she climbed a bit. I tested the flaps at 1/4 of the recommended travel and she went darn near vertical! Anyone know if this is typical or caused by not applying full flaps from the start? I don't recall my first one acting like that and I did the best that I could to set all throws the same as the first one. Weather looks good this am and I plan to try to get some more time on her and maybe a go-pro video with the head gear.

Happy flying, Bill
