Default RE: Showtime

One more comment. This plane lands easy. If I wanted I could go rearward with the CG but I found it pretty nice at 7 3/8". I did some touch and goes at about 1/4 throttle and they were pretty cool. Into about a 15 MPH wind my other planes would pitch, roll and baloon but this sweetheart just touch down keep moving and lift off again. My real landings were all deadstick and it died each time at about 5 feet off the ground on approach. When the prop would stop it would baloon up to about 8-10 feet and then felt a little tailheavy but seriously, not bad at all. It would land on all three wheels at the same time with slight up elevator. Sweet. I'm really excited about this airplane. This baby flys.
Thanks,
Barry
