Joe,

I was finally able to get some serious stick time in on the new "Crest #2" this past weekend. Every time I fly this bird, I like it more! The new rudder design has really improved the performance of this airframe. Upright flat spins are now not only possible, but pretty easy to do. Knife edge is now possible. It still wants to pull to the gear, but I am able to corrrect with minimal elevator input. No aileron correction is needed (strange, but true). The Y.S. 1.10 has also helped to bring this thing to life! Can you say climbing inverted flat spin! I am working on knife edge spins now. The plane is capable, the pilot needs some work.
