Well, I took her out for her maiden flight yesterday.

All I can say is that this is one of the best flying Decathlons I have ever flown. What a sweet bird.
Tracks so wonderfully.
Absolutley no rudder input on take off. With the 150 up front it literally yanked her into the sky with authority. Very little trim needed for hands free flight.
Loops and rolls are on good straight lines with the obvious rudder input. The ailerons need a lot of throw to have this plane snappy.
Landing was a breeze.Naural nose down attitude on approach with the slightest of flare to plonk her on the mains.

I think I am going to really enjoy this plane on any day.
I am glad I have the 150 in it. Verticle is as you can imagine. In fact I wouldn't want anything less in it now that I have flown it this way.

Negative: Wing struts are crap in design and want to keep coming off. Need Sullivan clevises with the retainer clips all round.
