My first flight resulted in a dead stick about 20 seconds after takeoff. I had the cowling cut to very scale clearences and the prop hub rubbed it. Prop stopped and you would have thought someone threw out the anchor. It's not a heavy bird by any means but there is a huge amount of drag. Ended up in the rough but no damage. I've must have 100 flights on it by now. I need to redo my pull-pulls (precaution) and tighten a few screws. The plastic landing gear fairings have had it so I need to order some more and install them.

Anyway, have fun with yours, good luck on the spins. Remember get some atlitude and pull out early.
