Yea, when you do that first rollout for takeoff, it will suprise you and start flying way before you expect it. The thing starts skipping on the mains almost immediatly, ease back just a smidge and up she goes. It WAS awesome to see it pull out so smoothly. Your gonna love this plane in the air.

I am anxious to see if both of you have the down-pitch problem with the thrustline. We are mounted square to the firewall, so I think it's in the design. If you do, trim it level for real slow fly before you land it, or it will be a handfull pushing down to get it to land. That was difficult for me, fighting to make it come down while dealing with a bit of wind and running near stall speed and shaking knees. I used every inch of the runway on that first landing.
