The big day was yesterday! I went at the "field" (it is actually an old abandoned sailplane strip). The weather was foggy but there was no wind. I found somebody else to check it, because I haven't flown for 4-5 years and I was very nervious. Everything seemed ok, so he took off, trimmed it (it needed only one click for the ailerons but a few clicks of down elevator) and gave it to me. To cut a long story short, here are my first impressions of the plane. It is difficult to handle on the ground but not impossible. I have read many bad things about it here, so I was expecting it much worse. Take offs need attention to keep them straight, but when it picks up speed, it takes off very nicely. Maybe a factor for that is that mine is not overpowered (OS .46LA). The engine is perfect! It is very reliable, and I can fly it around at about half throttle. I did not try any aerobatics because I am very rusty, only a roll with just aileron, which was far from perfect, propably because I kept the thoughs down for the first flights. Now, landings. I have always had a problem with landings. The good thing is that this runway is very long and wide, as you propably will be able to see from the picture I will attach. Landing this plane seems easy to me. I cut to idle and let it sink, controlling the descent with elevator. I bounces a couple of times but thats it. With practice I think I will be better. Well, thats all for now. I will get better pictures of it next time. There are a couple for now. It is a great feeling driving home with as many pieces as you had when you went to fly a new plane, especially your first kit.
