YAY! 6 pounds 7 ounces,
after 4 months of slowly building my first kit lifted off the runway....and flew!
what a great feeling

It was barely visible because the chrome finish reflected the sky and blended
the plane in perfectly. even the safety yellow markings didn't show well when
the sun was behind a cloud. couldn't make out the attitude and lost it a couple
of times, decided to bring her in.
So it's going to get some new black and white posercote trims and the decals
and hopefully this will work out.

Control throw was set up as per manual and even on high rates it was hard to
get the plane to turn. veeery slow rolls and a surprise when deploying the flap.
nose up in the sky!


I would appreciate if other contender pilots would share their setup for
control throws on low and high rates (%) and expo that worked well for them.
