ok, here's my flight report.

Hans is absolutely right, battery on the motor mount and shim the motor forward so that only a little weight is needed. I balanced mine at 3 3/4 inches from the leading edge of the top wing.
It flies like a dream! the horizontal stab is manufactured wrong and if you just slide it in and try to fly it, it will probably fly like crap. Mine needed almost no trim and it flies fast and straight.

Rundown:

Take offs are a *****. I'm not going to lie, this little bipe has serious problems going straight down the runway. I am going to change the landing gear because the ones they give you are a joke.... oh, and give it more tow-in and it should track a little better

flight is awesome. It will do anything you want even with the little .46 I have in it. I dont know if I have ever flown anything that went inverted better.

Stalls are even. Right over the nose with no tip or wing stalling at all. None. It simply noses over

Landings were slower than I thought based on all the bad mouthing on this thread. It comes in slow and predictable. With low weight and good CofG the plane can really fly slow.

I have five long flights on it and I am not going to trade it in anytime soon. Guys, I hate to say it but with a few small changes and some clever placement of weight....... It flies great! Not to mention how good it looks in the air. Let's face it, flying a small bipe is'nt easy but this one really should get another chance.

Oh, three other guys at the field flew it and one of them owns the kit but never built it based on it's reputation.


I forgot my camera so I will snap some shots next week.
Thanks again Hans.
