How did the maiden flight go? How much purple do you need, I have a little extra if you are talking about a hatch cover for moving the battery back in the tail section.

Hi Jim,

The maiden flight went great. Sunday was a perfect day with no wind. I couldn't find a 13X6 prop locally so I went with a 14X5 on the Saito .72. Seemed to have tons of thrust. I could take off in about 15 feet and point it straight up.

Did some hovering, loops and rolls on low rates. This weekend I hope to move the CG back some and try it on high rates w/mixing.

I might take you up on the covering if the smoke purple doesn't match. I want to move the RX pack back to the tail like yours. Maybe I'll see ya at the field on Saturday. Thanks for your help!

Mike
