Default First Flight !!!!!!!!!

First flight report: WAAAA-HOOOOO

Lifted off, two clicks of up trim and hands off.

This plane flies stable as a rock, point the nose where you want it and it will stay there.

Stalls are straight ahead with NO bad habits and no snap.

The ZDZ-60 is a perfect match for this plane, with only 10 minutes on the engine it was obvious that this setup will be totally unlimited.

Landing was like flying a trainer, I was worried about tip stall with this wing design, narrow tips and all, but it was for not.

On the second flight, I came in for landing and kept it 6" off the ground untill it just ran out of speed and it settled down on all three wheels, no tip stall at all.


Notes:
Need to re-adjust throws on low rate, as the book settings are a little conservative for me, esp. on Aileron.

There is some Rudder to Aileron coupling that will need to be mixed out, but I'm guessing only about 3-4%, it will slow roll at full rudder deflection.

Kangke/SuperKraft did an excelent job with this plane.
It's built extremely well, (except the hardware) and flies even better.


My Rating: :thumbup: :thumbup: I'd give it more but I only have two hands.
