Hey, all.

My Ultimate made its maiden flight today. I had the throws per spec, and the CG set just a bit shy of 6.5 inches back. Flew hands off with 3 clicks of up. I only made a few laps just to get the feel of the plane, as the wind made it difficult to do too much diagnostic flying. The one thing I noticed was that the ailerons were very responsive. I dialed them way down when I landed. Plenty of power with a DA-50, and it floated in for a beautiful landing. Here's the specs:

DA-50
5945's on Aileron
8611s on Rudder, Elevator
635's on throttle & choke
2-1400 5-cell NiMH for Rx, 1-1400 4-cell for ignition
Weight, about 19 pounds
