I maidened the half wit today, WOW! really exciting. my engine still needs some break'n in so I didn't trust the idle and opted for the full throttle hand launch. up it went and down it went (needed some up trim) grabbed the stick and gave full up and pulled up just in time to graze the snow (left a really cool trough from the wheels and prop) then up we went for good. I tried a few rolls and loops and nosed up and throttled down to see if it would hover, it kept climbing every time I tried, I'm just not getting enough throttle responce yet (it goes up and down way slow, I think it will get better as it breaks in). I came in a little hot for landing and broke a wheel, it really stuck in the snow when it hit. looks like it is going to be really fun but it is noisy and really oily (I think it puts out more oil than any of my big engines).
