Default RE: CG Matrix Flight Report...

Glad to hear yours did well.

No doubt about it, this is one very honest model. I forgot to mention that it handles wind VERY well.

I've got weight added to the tail now; started off with two ounces, and will re-check the CG point this evening. The long-range forecast for the week-end is good; do I should be able to fully check the airplane out then.

Another thing that surprised me is the ground handling. With those swept-back wheels actually behind the wing LE, I was sure it would be prone to nose-overs. Nope; just hold up elevator and she will taxi around anywhere you want to go.

Right now, it looks like a keeper. After all the effort I put into it, that is a bit gratifying. However, I am re-thinking my attitude toward ARFs. I'll do a lot more research before buying the next one, for sure.
