I taught my 9yr old and 14yr old to fly on mine

.
Boys or girls? I'd hate to be outdone by a 9 year old girl. :>
LMAO......It was a boy
Good. I don't mind being shown up by a 9 year old boy :>.
Did the maiden on the Twist today after our club's Toys for Tots fly-in (and what a great turn-out of pilots and spectators we had!!).
I had set high rates at maximum throw and low rates for aileron, el, and rudder at 50%. The Super Tigre Engine ran great without adjustment of the low end. I pointed her down range and nailed it. Twist went vertical and I pushed the nose down. Got her flying and gave her about 3 clicks of down elevator and she was hands-off straight and level at about 1/2 throttle. Flew around just fine and did some high-rate stuff. Took two or three passes to get her on the ground though. I had to fly her down and grease her in with a little power, otherwise she just went right on by! An experienced flyer suggested putting a couple of washers between the top engine mount screws and the firewall to give her just a bit of down thrust. What do you think about that?
