I was finally able to maiden my SC this morning. Conditions were ideal i.e. no wind and no rain and cloudy so no glaring sun. Everything fits nicely especially the wing. It's a real nice looking bird all put together.

I placed the battery and connected her up. Tried the controls and the factory settings were quite good. The elevator needed a few clicks of down and she was fine. I must say the servos and control surfaces are really very good with this plane. Much better than the PZ Cub. After a range check, heart pounding, I got out to the middle of the field, pushed full on throttle and gave it a good firm toss. The manual states that the plane does not require elevator input to climb and it's right. The plane made a nice steady climb without any elevator inputs. Just a bit of rudder to keep it straight. Very responsive in the air and that 480 motor has plenty of power. At half throttle she slows down a fair bit and I did have to give it a bit more "gas" to climb back up. I did not turn ACT one even once (really don't need it). She turns nicely and is really a nice steady flyer. The weather started to turn and I had to make a lunch date with my wife so after about five minutes I eased her down for a perfect landing. Overall I'm quite happy with this plane. Look forward to adding the drop feature and some mods i.e. brushless set up down the road.

Tomorrow morning looks like a promising flight experience so hopefully I'll be able to really try her out.
