Well, it flew beautifully! The only problem I had was the stupid Great Planes Fueler Valve caused the engine to die at idle on occassion, so i routed my fuel lines around it. I guess I'll go to a three line system after all. The plane was balanced well at 3 3/4" behind the leading edge. I have to say that the wings are damned strong on these things, too. The guy who was maidening it for me had to do a deadstick at a fairly low altitude and managed to bring it in safely, but he hit a rubber traffic cone with the left wing. The plane spun around and had a little crinkle in the leading edge covering, but the wood underneath still felt sturdy and there was no other damage to the plane. Once I get the three line system set up, I think she'll be good to go and should be a great plane to fly. Even with a OS .60 FP and a 12x6 prop it seemed to have good power, but not unlimited vertical.
