OMP Hybrid Maiden
Yesterday I had a chance to maiden my OMP Hybrid and MVVS 58 Prosport. What a machine! Super smooth and responsive power. It hovers at 4 clicks of throttle. This engine runs and starts great. Even with the 58 the a.u.w. is 16 1/2 pounds. It sure flies nice. Slow motion knife edge, nice flat spins, and nice harriers. This is the easiest landing plane I've ever flown. It slows down so much, it looks like it's just hangs there. Even though I'm on the rear-most balance point, it seems to fly pretty tail-heavy. It flies easily, but really climbs inverted. On the second landing, I harriered to a tail-touch, then landed with a 5 foot roll-out. I'm going to move the balance point forward, and going to give it a washer shim of upthrust. To land, I have to add 3 clicks of down elevator, otherwise if I just slow to an idle, it floats the length of the runway. I can tell this is going to be my favorite plane.
