Glad to hear you had a pretty good first couple flights. I told ya it was different in the air!!! The Expo feature is easy to get used to, it just softens the stick movement near the center position, but gives you full travel if you need it. I too had way to much aileron on the first few flights. I had set the dual rate switch for half of the full rate and it flew much better so when I got home I made the hi rate the same as the low and then half'd the travel for low rate. Much easier to fly now.. I was thinking of increasing the hi rate a little now I'm used to it, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.. Woohooo for computer radios. I have the model with no scoops on the cowl and my motor over heats in the summer, so i just fly with out the cowl on. I plan on making a scoop from balsa and mountiong it to the wing some way. It just need a little more airflow to cool the engine. I found an old K&B 6.5 DF (40)engine that has a rear exhaust and a can muffler that I had forgotten I had. Got it out and ran it on the test stand. I may put that motor on the LongEZ and invert it so the cylinder head is out in the airflow. It's a powerhouse with a 10X8 APC, so it may be just he right ticket for the LongEZ. Going to see if I can find another cowling, as I have already cut the original for a side mounted engine with a Pitts muffler.

I forgot to tell you that if you are flying with a crosswind you have no rudder to correct the flightpath with, and its a challenge to take off striaght down the runway, and line up and hold a heading on landing. We have a nice 80 foot wide grass runway, so I get by with it a little more than I should. Some times its really close though. I try not to fly the LongEZ if there is a strong, or close to 90 degree crosswind.
