Default RE: Sequel CG???

I finally gat a flight in today.

I actually got 2. The first was just to trim out the plane. I'm having an issue with getting the aleiron servos to center but I think I know what the cause is. During the second flight I flew the 2007 Sportsman sequence. The YS 120 is the perfect match for this plane. It doesn't have unlimited vertical but does climb at a nice steady rate. It handeled the 07 sequence with ease. Kife edge requires only a little rudder input which makes the slow roll very easy. I was going to try it a second time but teh header and pipe decided to eject from the plane. That was my fault for not securing it correctly. [:@] As soon as I can get a new header and pipe I'll give a real flight report.

The only 2 tips I can give is that the CG felt perfect on the wing tube, and if you use retracts make sure to 3pt the landing. I'm actually looking into getting a new kit from PAC this winter to build for the 08 season. I will be using retracts on the next one as the plane just feels to good in the air without fixed gear adding drag.

Sorry I don't have pics up yet. My digi cam is broke.
