Tom,

Looks awesome! Jinx on the canopy, I painted mine black too, I even have the 4 screws in the same spots as you!

I maidened mine yesterday, wow what a thrill! Kept it on low rates for a while then turned it up, wow! Walls are awesome with this thing!!! I can tell right now this thing will be a great plane to learn to hover with, without a doubt. Knife edge stinks, It rolls inverted pretty bad. I'll try mixing it out.

I do have flaps and spoilerons. Let me tell you, you wont need flaps to slow down for landings, the thing basically refuses to stall.

Where is your CG set at? Mine is at 5-1/4 and when the tank gets empty, I have to hold a fair amount of down elevator to get the thing down for landing.
