The rain and wind finally left eastern Nebraska and provided a great day for the first flight of my new Dave Guerin built electric PL Partner. Statistics:
10 lbs 15 oz
2000 mah NiMH receiver pack
Futaba 9Z radio with dual JR elevator servos
Thunder Power TP 5300 lithium pack
Hacker C50 14XL Competition motor
Hacker Acro 90 Comp ESC
Jerry Budd motor mount
APC 22 x 12 prop
5700 RPM at 67 amps full throttle

The aircraft was set up with zero/zero wing/stab incidence for the first flight so it was no surprise that a bit of up elevator trim was needed. I now have two turns worth of positive incidence in the wing adjusters and the up elevator trim is nearly gone. There is no detectable pitching in either knife edge and verticals are straight as an arrow. I currently have the CG right on the center of the wing tube. During these first flights, I tried to keep the current draw around 5C or below as recommended by Thunder Power for the first flights on a new pack. Even at a hair above half throttle, vertical performance was stunning. A great flying plane.
