Default RE: Showtime

Flew the ST with the SFGs for the first time today. Made the airplane much "crisper" in response and easier to do some stunts but, surprising a little more difficult to KE. The KE got the nose so high I had to keep slowing the throttle down until it would finally fall out. But hover was easier, and flatspins very impressive with them on. Waterfalls were easier to keep straight and vertical and nicely down with them on. Rolling circles became easier for some reason. They are still such a novelty that I need to practice more to get used to them and to really even find out fully what they are about. But it made the plane really responsive.

Landing was scary because you only have about 1" clearance but I didn't have any problems, just worry. But it was calm today. Maybe with a little wind...

Anyways, still extremely impressed with this airplane, especially with the SFGs.
Thanks
