Default RE: Beryll Flight Reports?

Hi

The Beryll is an absolute beautiful plane with exceptional paint quality. After flying an Impact it is a great improvement, but obviously very costly. Can buy two Impacts for the price of one Beryll, and I got mine directly from OXAI. The nice thing is that every set up is done by OXAI and can be trusted. Took two days from work and plane was ready to fly. The only aspect that I had to change to date is to reduce the right thrust. At half throttle it is ok but anything more and it pulls quite a lot to the right. I am almost there. Tucks a little to the belly on knife edge, about 5% up elevator mixing on JR 10X. Rolls are axial and snaps are great. Flying Hacker Comp 14 XL with APC 21X13 E wide blade and TP 5300 batteries. And this is the greatest, all up weight 4,802 KG. I used some of this available weight by building a removable battery tray untill all the CG set up was complete and prop selection finalized. The batteries do not go on the intended place on the front tray and had to be moved back to get correct cg.

Will post some stats and pictures.
