I tried my FG-60 for the first time this weekend.

The CG on the plane was a bit too far aft, therefore the steep takeoff.

That was the reason for not giving some elevator just before touchdown, too; I was nervous it could set the nose upwards too much again.

Also it is perhaps not adjusted quite correctly on top speed....but will leave it for now;

When cutting power after landing, I measured the temperature on all 3 cylinders, on the middle, up front. It was around 35 degrees Celsius on all 3. ( !! ).

Outside temperature was, oh, about 18 degrees Celcius.
