Default RE: My son and I soloed yesterday!

BTW...he'll love the SSE. I have one with an OS46AX with an APC12.25x3.75 when the mood strikes to do 3D, normally it has an 11x7 for normal areobatics. Just have him start out for the first flight with the throws at about 50% of book high then injcrease them when he is ready.

Dang thing is a blur at 1/2 throttle on high rates when doing a roll. Lomcevaks are a thing of beauty and wilh spoilerons turned on the thing will harrier and elevator just ever so sweet.

With the 11x7 prop I can climb at full throttle and let it run out of airspeed on it's own and it will just hang there with very little control input for quite some time.

Of course it's balanced slightly on the tail heavy side of the recommended CG and laterally. I needed about 1/2oz on the right wing. No other weight was needed
