Got my first flights in this afternoon with the LongEZ. Flew great needed to tweak the elevator throw a bit as its quite sensitive in pitch.
aileron was very axial and good roll rate. Biggest problem was keeping up with flight orientation. After 30 yrs of wing first aircraft it's a bit tough to fly a swept wing canard. Balance point is exactly where shown in the directions at 430 mm behind the leading edge of the canard. I balanced it with empty tankand after filling the tank rechecked it and it didn't change but a 1/4 in(5mm). Only problem I had was the engine seemed to overheat a bit so may fly next few flights without the engine cowl in place to try and not over heat a new engine. I have a OS46 on it and it is really lots of power. Take off roll was a little long but after it gains lift on the canard it just fly's right off very nicely. Mine did require a good amount of nose up trim for level flight but I'll adjust for that in the linkage and it should be a great little flier.
