It was pretty gusty, and at a cross wind, but the biggest factor was having the stick at about 3/4 throw just to keep it from climbing.
Other then that it was ready to fly. Having set the throws between Mid. and Max on all surfaces checking and re-checking CG. I was just hoping to get the feel of it ( ground handling) and return to my trainer to build some confidence, an then return to the Spacewalker.
Being this was my first ARF I would like to shake it down , or vibrate it up , to see what I may have missed, or for a control binding up or ??.

The next day I checked it over again and adjusted the elevator and flew it for about 3 minutes and the trim was still off, and then darkness set in.

Tomorrow I hope to burn some fuel in it if weather will cooperate.

I still cant get over it slow flight handiling and looks!
