I put my contender in the air yesterday and I can say I'm very pleased with how things went. I didn't get a chance to run it through it's paces and test it's full capabilities...
By the time I got the thing in the air it was dark enough to play with the lights which worked better than expected! Then I had a linkage problem with the throttle servo and I couldn't get the thing to idle slow enough to land... so I had to line up on final... get close to the runway and hit the kill switch. After I get things fine tuned I'll give another update... Overall on the first flight though I can say I'm happy with this bird.
No bad tendencies... minimal trim needed... very very stable and forgiving... pretty quick too for a fun fly plane.

I was there! Wheels off at 1832 which on a gray day is not much light and the lights were AWESOME! It really is one nice flying plane. It really looks nice in person - The pictures don't do it justice.
