Pleased that you are on the road to recovery Donny.

Apropos of the BE2, I duly did fly it on Tuesday last, with the extra weight in the nose and the difference it made to the flight stability was marginal. There were times during the flight when I was not in control of the model and I was lucky to bring it down safely, either that or I am a better pilot than I give myself credit for! The local cognoscenti thought that the upper wing could be at too high an angle of attack. I will check the angles against the plan and report back. I'll probably be adding a little more lead to the nose too because I was towards the rear of the recommended c of g range on Tuesday.

On a lighter note my BE2 has such presence that it has been chosen as the poster girl for a fly-in at our club on 4th September. Being France, there will be lots of nice food and drink t the event as well! Unfortunately I will be in England at that time so won't be able to participate! .
