The Kavalier flew today. I had someone who had built 2 of them do the maiden flight. It is almost a hands off plane. The first thing I noticed is how it tracks steady and straight. Very easy to land and it lands with a little nose up attitude that is nice. It rolls and loops great. I did a stall turn with it and it does that very good. I think I was flying with 65% rates for the most part, but 75% aileron and rudder is comfortable. This is an easy flying plane that looks like it will be fun for a long time.

The Saito .56 has plenty of power with good vertical power.
