Default RE: Finally Going To Maiden !!!

Well....all I can say is WOW!!! I flew her yesterday, and it came home without a scratch Talk about the shakes! I had one of my trusted field buddies stand with me in the event something went wrong but I didn't need him other than for support. I however only got to fly it once though, it was a bit breezy for a maiden...especially after a year downtime....thank god for sims, it let me keep the feel. But it just doesn't give you quite the pucker factor as the real thing . All I did was fly laps to get the feel. Amazingly it only required one click up elevator....nothing else. CG was between 4 1/2 and 4 3/4". Talk about a very effective elevator. Had it at the recommended low rate setting and was still SUPER touchy with even -30% expo (futaba). I need to either tone down the throw abit more or add alot more expo until I can fly it without crushing the transmitter and shaking so much my teeth rattle and my vision is blurred Even got to watch another guy put his second flight on his Widhare Edge. We're the only 2 club members with a Wildhare...but everyone that saw the planes and saw them fly were TOTALLY impressed....I can tell they will breed like wild bunnies Can't wait to get it in the air again!!!
