Alright now fellas:

My maiden flight and I will first say that I brought the Showtime home with the correct number of pieces. Now, with that said, I must tell you guys that I subscribe to the 3d forum and have a 3d (or 4d if you prefer) airplane not because I am a 3d pilot -- I just want to be. I am not a very good pilot -- just alright -- I don't crash the airplanes, but have not had one yet that is capable of 3d maneuvers. Anyways, I think I will use an incidence meter to set throws from now on -- the plane needed one click of right and two clicks up and was perfect -- I was kind of nervous about that because of the large surfaces. I had the high rates set at the recommended "low rates" and had the low rates on my transmitter set to what amounts to 25% of the 3-d rates per the manual with 60% expo. It was pretty challenging for me to control the plane on high and I was much more comfortable on my home-brew low rates. I beleive that my cg is too rearward -- when I roll inverted it loses altitude and requires a firm down elevator to maintain level. Weird though, because on landing it seemed a bit tail heavy -- what do you guys think?

The YS is now tuned to perfection and was awesome
