I had my maiden flights on the 109 Wednesday morning. The plane flew very well and the engine ran great. The only issue encountered was the tendency for the landing gear to bounce if one trys to turn the plane while at any speed on landing. Even slight corrections on the ground result in severe bouncing. I got away with it the first flight but the second flight resulted in a nose over and broken prop. I am not sure how to cure this issue except to let the plane roll out until very slow on landing. I used the retracts sold by Nitro planes for the 109 and they work well but seem a bit on the weak side for this plane. Here are some pictures of the maiden flights.

Best wishes and good safe flying.
