yeah 28% is ok....its actually quite tolerant on the position...

even midpoint on the wing flies fine.

the flying characteristics were very different to anything i've flown...and could catch you off guard if not careful.

First the rudder is ultra responsive. it is very efficient at steering both on ground and in the air. In fact i used it almost exclusively for turns, coordinating the ailerons just to keep from losing height.

aileron turns cause rapid height loss and they are authorative enough, but hardly useful for a quick rescue...so the moral there would be to not get into any trouble that requires a quick aileron response.

the plane wind vanes alot also.

if the wing warping isnt ligned up, it'll roll over on takeoff and airspeed and aileron control isnt authorative enough to quickly adjust...trust me i know this one.

you need to make some washout in the wings also, i did this using the rigging tension.

after flying around a few times and getting a handle on it, it's a great time!...and those low speed, low alt passes take everyone at your field back to 1915.

oh, anohter thing, i used a pretty small 4 stroke in mine, actually smaller than the spec (a 0.54 TT)..and the plane weighed over 9 lb. Due to the large diameter wheels and heavy undercarriage it flew very well even with that modest powerplant.

i just thought of another one...the angle of the fuse whilst at startup can starve fuel to your engine, so be sure to run richer than you think- or when adjusting the mix lift the tail to parallel with the ground...do the same for balancing- it's easily overlooked...

FYI the warping cables need to come around the pulley one full circle before exiting- my main worry was a cable slipping off when under no load...so the top rig needs to be fairly tight.

Cheers..

Oh, and yes, checkout K&W...they are fantastic...the only thing is the cost in shipping..this baby cost me $350US of so, then another $600US to get it here....
