Default RE: Beryll Flight Reports?

Mike - The plane really does present well! It's got a really nice constant speed "look" to it.

The real (no kidding) all up weight is 10lbs 15oz. I'm 1 oz under the limit. I didn't really go out of my way to be truly fanatical about weight reduction. At the same time I tried not to add any extra weight either. My Angels Shadow-e is 10 lbs 8oz. That said, the Beryll flies very "light" to my feeling.

I am running two Futaba 9650 mini digitals in the stab. I am also running the 9650's for the ailerons.

Per an e-mail from Wolfgang Matt I set the C/G at 175mm from the wing leading edge.

My starting point for incidence was putting the stab incidence 1/2 degree negative to the wing. (I am not usually super careful with this because I always find myself adjusting wing and sometimes stab incidence based on flight performance)

I will post more as I trim it out.

Thanks
