Maiden flight today
I waited till the crowd thinned out a little at the Muskogee Fly-in today, then fired up the Saito 100 and gave the UCD a test flight. I REALLY LIKE THIS AIRPLANE! C.G. came out at 5" with where I mounted the battery pack. I will move that back after a few more flights. Didn't try too much as this was only my 6th tank of fuel on the new Saito and I didn't want to push my luck at a fly-in on the maiden flight. Vertical uplines became unlimited at 3/4 throttle, and this thing is rock solid! Flight control authority is brisk and precise even at low rates! I never even went to high rates for the hovering with the vertical climbout over the top! Landing was easy, even as nervous as I was. Can't wait to get her up again and start wringing her out. What an airplane!
