Finally got my maiden in.
One flight only, temps in the upper twenties with light winds so it was all my finger could take ! But I couldn’t wait any longer..
Had to tinker with a few things before getting off the ground. I think my throttle servo was having an aneurism from the cold.
The takeoff , flying and landing were all very predictable (as expected). I made a few knife edge passes and did half a dozen low speed snaps. Didn't try anything crazy, yet. All in all the plane fly's "big" in the air, meaning It has the presence of a bigger plane and fly’s that way as well. Snaps are very predictable with just a little spill over at the end. Knife edge will require some mixing, not much but there is a little coupling to deal with. I was playing with the trim’s and found it to be very pitch sensitive , even with the CG in the middle of the suggested range so I think I'll crank up the expo and play some more with the CG. I have plenty of power with the 70US with about a quarter of the throttle stick to spare. Climbing maneuvers are just a matter of pointing the nose up and pushing the T stick forward. Nice... landings are uneventful, I did a couple of touch and goes and felt that I could almost set the plane up, cut the throttle and set the transmitter down Of course I didn’t ! but it felt that way
