Default RE: CG Matrix Flight Report...

Well, it was too steenkin' windy today to really tell anything; 15-25 mph gusts, constantly changing direction. The airplane handled it well, but was getting tossed around pretty good.

I did observe that the APC 14x4W prop seems to be the one to go with. Not fast, but what a stump-puller. My UCD/YS 91 FZ combo with a 16x4W flew the same way; out-of-sight vertical, and when you chop the throttle (regardless of WHAT attitude the airplane is in), its like you deployed a drag chute.

Also, the supplied landing gear legs are soft crap. Due to really squirrelly winds, I plopped it down, not hard at all, and the left gear leg bent noticeably. I bent it back with gentle hand pressure.[:'(]
