I did the first flight on the Beryll on Sunday. It was great! I still don't have any pictures but Scott Covey took some video and it's on the NSRCA D7 website (http://www.nsrca.org/d7/) I set up the control throws the same as my electric Angels Shadow and they are all about right. I set the wing at 0 and the stab at 1/2. The plane took about 6 "beeps" of up elevator trim and about two "beeps" of right aileron. (I have my trims pretty de-sensitized so that's not very much control surface movement) I put 4 fairly easy flights on it gradually building up to snaps and spins on the last flight and everything went very well. It has a touch of pull to the belly on knife but just a touch. The up and down lines were very straight. (Except for my wobbles!) It's a beautiful plane and it seems to fly as good as it looks. I think the Matt's have another winner here!
