Today we were finally able to maiden my CARF DG-800........ great couple of flights.

Decided to leave the turbine with the factory recommended angle instead of installing it straight. With the turbine on an angle, the glider needs left rudder to go straight during take off, but during flight the effect is not noticeable and you don't really need to use the rudder.

Just need to check the ailerons since the glider is rolling very slowly. What kind of throws are you guys using in your ailerons ?

No big changes of pitch during flight.... only with the air brakes out where the glider tends to lower the nose very fast.

Thanks to my builder Claudio Rojas for a great build.

For next flight I'm planning to program the iGyro that is installed and that should help with any pitch changes and heavy winds.
