My dad just got one of these and built it with no problems, the only question we were unsure of was the direction that the elevator goes to take the plane off. We figured out that it would be reversed so off to the flying field. It took off pretty good with the only problem being that it took almost the entire field to get lift off. We read somewhere to put both ailerons up about 1/16" and seemed to work pretty good. No trim was needed but pulling into a loop was pretty scary the first time, it went up and went into a spin and I lost control once the plane lost airspeed, I regained control and did not do any more rolls. Landed the first attempt, it is a sure floater but landed gracfully. Here are some pics. I am the test pilot, my dad just started and loved the "unique" planes, always being over his skill to fly.
