Just an update,

I fly off of a thick grass field and finally removed the landing gear. I could takeoff but landings always resulted in bent gear. I love this plane...... I can fly the entire Advanced pattern in the lengths of two football fields in half the time of my 2 meter. I did end up a little behind 4 3/8!QUOT! after trimming for the CG. I know there was a question of warping on control surfaces and what I have noticed is on my elevator, the one tip would be below the horizontal stab and the other slightly above. I ended up using plain old clothes pins and I store the Brio with a pin on each side locking the elevator to the horizontal stab. My problems went away.... I am sure it would work on the ailerons too.

My biggest complaint is not with the Brio, it is with the spectrum radio not having expo on the rudder...now who decided that! Stall turns are no problem, point rolls and slow rolls are taking some time to get use to.

I think out of the 20 or so 35-40 inch electrics I have flown this is by far the most well balanced and best behaved.
