Hey Guys,...

I finally finished my Flying Clown!!

Looking back over these posts, I realize that I purchased the kit August 15 of last year and just flew it for the first time today. Three days shy of ten months!! How's that for quick building, ha!!

I'm using the OS Max 10 turning a 7 X 4 prop. Flying it on .012" X 48 foot lines. Gives great line tention, something I'm not used to with my 1/2A's. It seemed to be a bit sluggish on the controls, perhaps nose heavy. I removed the landing gear, and then the nose cone to try and move the CG back. Only then did I feel comfortable enough to try a loop. Might have to add a touch more weight to the tail. Once again I'm used to the sensitivity of the 1/2A's so htat might be something I need to get used to as well.

Thanks again for everyone's help, suggestions, and advice. I appreciate the wealth of knowledge and experience here on RCU. Its a great resorce to turn to when dabbling in a new aspect of this hobby.

Sincerely,
Steve T.
