Default More Thoughts

A few more things to add:
Stalls forward and has very good landing characteristics.
The landing gear is thin. The weight of the plane deflects it enough to add camber to the tires.
Takes very little rudder to knife edge.
Inverted did take a little more down elevator than I had hoped. Will try moving the CG back slightly.
Throw rates are OK as shown in the manual, but go with the listed high rates on elevator and rudder if your radio does not have dual rates. Think I will set the low rates to the high recommendations on elevator and add a little more to the high rate.
You will need more down elevator that up, maybe more than shown in the manual, not sure at this time.
