Default RE: GP .46 Giles---Misc Stuff

i have not even decided on a cg yet, but i have moved it back pretty far. it is almost to the point that inverted flight requires very little "up". i have put it in knife ege position and see that it pitches towards the belly. this will be my first experimentation with mixing.

i am already seeing how agile this plane is though with snap rolls.. beautiful. flatspins are easy.. hovering seems a little twitchy until i get used to this plane. but i am coming off a ucd3d fomy.. so i am used to a plane that wants to hover.

yesterday my flying was cut short due to 25 mph wind gusts. while this plane can handle some wind, it can't handle a lot. one landing was at near zero airspeed. and it was getting blown all around.. no fun to fly like that.
