Default BVM Bobcat

I have 15 flights on my BobCat with a JetCat 120 turned down to 20#. It weighs 20 1/2# dry and flies like a dream. I'm still sorting everything out, and hope to have lots of flights this weekend at our T-38 jet meet here in Lubbock. I put flaps on mine and am working to get everything sorted out and tweaked like I want. John Redman and I are going to try to reflex the ailerons and lower the flaps ala BVM's recommendations with mixed elevators. Should make a really sweet landing bird. I currently have 0 gyro gain gear up, and around 50% gain gear down, and have no wing rocking on landing so far - I am landing it a little hot yet, but will slow it down more as I get more familiar with it. So far, I REALLY like the machine and feel BV has a real winner here. So glad this experience is so much better than the one I had with the EFirebird!!
