Default Thunderbird Dolphin maiden complete!

The maiden was complete 7/6 at Nighthawks. All went well and settings per the manual for elev. ail. rud. were right on. Still sneaking up on the flap/crow settings. Started at the recomenmded and have increased a little. I see a few have gone as much as 3.75 inches of deflection and 5/16ths crow. Right now I'm at 2.75 and 1/4 inch crow. I'll keep sneaking up on it. The first landings were fast (just wouldn't slow down) but very smooth. This is a very nice sport jet! Thanks to Eric Clapp for all your help getting a great airframe and Rich Miller for all your initial testing, hints and tips.
