It's a "three smile day"..... boys 'n girls, this puppy HUNTS....( Southern expression - means the dog is a "good 'un", take him huntin' EVERY time)....man, oh, man.

The good things - INCREDIBLE vertical authority (duh). Because it is flown in the sequence at 1/3rd or lower, the 16 x 10 and KS canister makes it sound like a small electric. Yee ha! There is hardly ANY additional ruddering, although I did note I needed a bit more TRIM in the rudder.

It is just a very, very, good combo. I had to dial in a REAL flat throttle curve, and add a bunch of expo, but at the slower speeds, it is solid, hands off, wonderful line tracking. Fly it faster, still solid. For the TOTAL investment, this combo rocks.

Needed some differential, couldn't really dial that in today, but other than that, and a little expo on everything, she was dead stock. Dean Pappas had recommended 1/16" pos incidence in the wing (shimmed the TE with a popsicle stick), and that took care of up trim, which then neutralized the verticals. she will go a LONG way dead straight, up, or down.

It's only fitting to end this post with
