About 2 more hours of work and she will be ready to maiden. Has anybody flown theirs yet?
Any flight characteristics would be appreciated.
I have the kit version, but yours should fly similar. It's fast in the air, and doesn't slow down like other bipes for landing. Slow speed is predictable, with stalls causing a mush forward, not a tip stall. It flys like a pattern ship, with snaps happening only at hard surface deflection. I fly mine on high rates all the time now. Snap rolls are quick and violent, and will make you mess your drawers the first time you do it...so be up high and have a clean pair of shorts in the car.

What's your all up weight?
