Had the Bear up for a couple flights today and think I have the programming gremlins almost all gone. Needed some trim and found my tailwheel had turned on the trunnion, but all round very controllable and comfortable. Only things of note are not much speed difference in the air between half and full throttle, (may have to set the throttle curve). Seems to honk along pretty steadily. May look faster with the gear up. Not sure if that is the case.

Second was that although there needs to be minimal elevator in flight, I ran out just before the wheels touched down for the last landing. Had switched to High-Rate just in case. May need a tad more tavel set on H/R.

Even with the cowl off this plane does NOT like to slow down.

First landing had it over on its back. Second was fine until throttle up to turn round. Then it was "Alley Oop" and on the spinner. Would likely be fine on tarmac.
