hi all,

i got my high wing red version late on saturday afternoon and i have just got in from it maiden. weather was very blowy and i was in two minds if i should fly or not but i thought what the heck.

the extreme flew great with the ASP .52 2st upfront, it was a tad nose heavy for my liking but fine for two flights. this was bought purely to run in two engines for a twin, but now i think i will have to find an engine to keep this one in the air.

a few niggles with the kit like the metal hub wheels, the metal steering arm, both of which i replaced. the geometry for the aileron (no flaps) seemed way out so i did my own thing (moved the horn). the other strange thing is that somehow i have a touch of anhedral. everything was dead straight when i was dry fitting it and i even check the wing joiner in every possible orientation to make sure it was ok, fly fine for a good hack model!!

cheers
