Test flew Brylee's Saito 150 powered plane yesterday. Took it easy, since tail brace wires still hadn't been installed yet (are they functional??), but can report plane's a great flyer. Off grass, very little rudder correction needed on initial roll-out during take-off. The 150 gets it off in 60 feet or so, and is more than enough power with normal cruising done at 1/2 throttle or less. Coordinated turns are much prettier than ailerons only (like all Cubs). Aileron response could be a little better, but rolls can be speeded-up by adding rudder (hey, this isn't an Extra ).

Went inverted briefly, and was surprised by how little forward pressure on the stick was required - a lot less than my Clark-Y winged Sig 1/4 scale Cub. Landings fairly uneventfull, like my Cub it prefers to be wheel landed rather than full-stall 3-pointer.

Plane looks awsome on a low'n slow fly by or touch'n go. Scale gear and struts generated lots of interest at field. Altogether a winning combination - I don't think Dave Patrick has EVER designed a bad plane!.
