Finally got Zeus onto the field and got three flights done. In spite of the big fuselage it is reasonably fast. The 50 is pretty quiet with this prop and has plenty of power, Still needs to be run in though so it is a bit rough as yet. Without any mixes and elevator trimmed for level flight it pitches to the bottom and no roll couple in left rudder KE. Right rudder KE it pitches up and has proverse roll. None are strong. Down lines it pitches up. I expect to trim out the pitching with stab incidence. The CG is well forward and I have the ballast tube in the tail to easily adjust the CG. Suffered a bit of damage to the UC when I caught the wire at the end of the runway so I will take the opportunity to run in and adjust the motor properly on the bench.
