Finished my plane. Took it out yesterday for maiden flight. Left the ground in about 10 feet. No trim needed. Great flight.
I did not have the templates. So I printed out the picture posted from darock ( on page 1 post 12 ). The wings were set right on. Used the CG from the World Models instructions (81mm). With the battery under the canopy it was dead on. I am using a Evolution .61NT with 13x6 prop. I think I will try 125% on the ailerons, the rolls were slow for me.

Now for the important part LANDING IN GRASS !!!!

If like me you have a field with grass that's just a little on the rough side. Go ahead and reinforce where the landing gear attaches.
Came in real slow (10mph head wind) could almost do a hairier landing . Just as the plane rolled to a stop the gear came off. I will post pictures later.

I love this plane.

After about 10 flights I still love this plane. Set my rates at 150%. This is a great plane for the money.
