Hey Steve

Glad first flight went OK.
Didn't get to fly the Matrix at all Saturday then it rained hard Sunday morning.
The rain finally cleared up so off to the flying field. Almost no wind and slightly
cloudy , perfect flying weather.
Takeoff was smooth and only needed 2 clicks up trim so everything felt good. I was
surprised the ailerons were not that sensitive even though they are so large. The rudder
has so much authority it will do stall turns easily on low rates. The elevator is very
positive feeling , not sensitive , but very powerful and will execute square corners
with ease. It rolls very axial and stops sharply when the control is released.
You are right about the stalls , very clean with no wing tip dropping, make it very easy
to land.
Mine has a slight pitch to the canopy when doing knife edge and I think needs a little
weight in the left wing tip to offset the engine and also the rudder servo is on the right
side ( I should have changed that ) but overall I am very happy with the first flights.
It definitely flies like a pattern ship which is what I wanted it to do anyway. I only got in
two flights as the muffler bolts worked loose and the cowl has to be removed to get to them
and it was late anyway so I called it a day. I wish all first flights went this smooth.
Will make a few adjustments and really give it a workout the next good flying day we have.
Hope you have continued good flying with yours.
