This is a great flying model, I really have mine dialed in. I would recommend adding 1 1/2 degrees of crow (about 1/8 inch) on ailerons as this really helps with slow flight to prevent tip stalling.
One warning is to check the 2 tiny set screws that hold the lower nose unit on. Yesterday mine fell off on takeoff but I landed the plane uneventfully with no damage on the grass. I am waiting to hear from Avi if they have replacement parts. I recovered the lower nose unit but whatever springs go inside is what I need.
Would be nice if someone had disassembled the nose unit with pictures or a schematic so I know how the dampening mechanism works on the nose strut. Hopefully I can get replacement parts and get back in the air soon.
