What a sweet flying plane. I have 3 flights on it so far, only one little mishap due tot he south winds getting under the left wing and flipping it over. I will need to remove the wheel pants though, they are too small for the grass field and already showing cracks from the couple of nose overs I did. First take off attempt I had too much down elevator, so as soon as the tail came up it nosed it right over. Gave it a few clicks of up, and then the next take off roll was nice and level, but as son as the wheels got off the ground the wind got under the left wing and it spun around and plopped on its nose( I think this is what cracked the pants). Third attempt you can see in the video. Rudder is a bit touchy, but this plane just leaps off the ground. That was at half throttle with the FG-11. My second and third flights were much smoother on take off, but the landings on all three were very nice. The last one came in a bit hot though, so it bounced, and nosed over when it landed after the bounce. Ground handling with the pants on in grass I found it hang a couple times, which I think attributed to the nose over on the last landing, so going to remove the pants for future flights. I did some loops and rolls and upside down and this plane flies very nice, once the engine is broken in I bet it will be a blast to do tricks with.
