I was kinda surprised when you said it lands kinda hot, Mine almost floats in and doesn't even need the flaps, matter a fact it doesn't even really stall and drop like a lot of planes.I think after you get some time on it you will be surprised at how wild or tame it can be.

Thanks Leroy, my CG is currently set at 4.25 inches. I don't know what you have yours set to, I suspect it may be different which is why yours slows down. More weight in the nose will always make a plane come in faster. I know that we both are running the same prop, and I've lowered my idle as much as I dare to at this stage of the engine's life. I think it will be a fun plane to fly, and I can already tell that it's much more responsive and limber compared to my other two Tigers.
