termagator,

I've got the same picture in my mind but unfortunately its still 20-30' higher than yours -- call me chicken.

The FA-100 is probably a little more difficult to manage the hover than the 91 because if I pull much more than 1/3 throttle I accelerate out of the maneuver. I also need to adjust my flight conditions because it takes a lot of elevator and airlons to manage a decent hover.

I'd like to see a picture of your airplane just as it transitions from straight down dive to level landing (CROW!!!). I've been doing that all weekend, its awesome. Like the hover though I'm still playing it safe and pulling out of the dive at about 20' and gently gliding in for almost a harrier landing.

Any thought out there about changing the prop from a 14x8 to a ??? I want less speed and more torgue but have to stay in the 14 to 13 range because of ground clearance with our grass field. Even now I have to clean off the green stains on my prop at the end of the day.
