Got 2 more flight on the F-18F this afternoon. I'm really loving this thing, I feel very comfortable already! I increased the flaps to 75mm with more up trim mixed in and I hit the sweet spot! Works great, I love the slow flight now, just what it needed, I'm also using spoilers for landing. On the second flight I did a nose high landing approach and was at full up elevator at touchdown! I used brakes and was at a stop in about 50ft! lol! Short field, no problem! The slow flight it awesome, even did a tail hook pass. Some was caught on video, I will see what I have and make a short clip.

What I like most right now is at half throttle you can turn and bank and not touch the throttle, very nice.

Anyway here are some pictures of the day with my friend Bob and his own design speed demon!
