Dave, that's really great news. I'm dying to get my UFO finished and in the air. From what I understand most of the UFO's refinements which Bridi made to the DB address slow flight performance, e.g., thicker stab airfoil for more drag with anhedral to get the elevator out of wing turbulance, and thicker wing section for better speed consistency, and also more side area for KE and a slightly longer tail moment.

Assuming I've built a straight ship, I hope mine flies half as good as you describe yours. No matter how good the design, it all comes down to the building and you've clearly done a great job. Now, get some video so we can see it flying.

Thanks, David
