It flies!

It is quite windy, and I probably should have waited, but I tried it today. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied.

It is quite forgiving, but not over-powered. The engines were giving me just over 13000, turning MAS 8X4's. Once they are a little more broken in, I'll switch to 7X6's, and see if I can get a little more. Sounds great though!

I did not detect any tendency towards a sharp stall or tip stall.

It really needs rudder for a co-ordinated turn. In fact, once you are in a turn, it wants a little opposite aileron, and lots of rudder.

The alignment problem is definitely noticeable, but it does trim out.

It flies like a bomber: stable, and happy to be flying level or in a shallow bank. This is not an aircraft for maneuvers. But the ground-handling is excellent, and a long scale take off looks very nice.

As expected, the wing loading is quite light, so it got tossed around a lot close to the ground, and was damaged in a cross-wind landing. No structural damage -- just shell which should glue back easily. Also, the wing mounting blocks detached.
