Default RE: SSE as 2nd plane, maiden observations

I love my SSE. That's the bottom of it in my avitar. Just a few things to watch out for. It'll land slow BUT make sure you don't get it too slow because when it stops flying it STOPS. I hade mine coming in a few months back and got it a bit too slow and it dropped the last two feet onto the runway. Luckly I use nylon bolts to attach the landing gear so I didn't do anything but shear the heads of those off. Second thing is, you will notice that the tail of the plane is a little soft (best word i can come up with at the moment). What I mean is when coming out of a dive it's really easy for that tail not to start flying as soon as you pull up. Doesn't hurt anything if you are prepared for it and pull out of a dive before you get too close to the ground.

You should also put the high rates on it that sig suggests. They are insane! Right now I've got all the throw in every surface I can. That's about 2 1/2" in the ailerons. Wicked fast rolls.
