Default RE: CMPro Christen eagle

Finally got the maiden in. Plane took off strong and flew good at half throttle with the OS 160 in it and the APC 18x6W prop. Would climb hard if I applied throttle above half though. Guess I need to put a little down thrust in the engine mount. Landing was definately hot but I made it after the third pass. I'm going to need a little practice landing this thing. Flairs nicely after it slows down but takes quite a while to slow down. Funny thing was that I tried to turn it on the ground after it slowed down considerably and it flipped over on its top. No damage but you definately need to slow WAY down before turning around. Shot some video but it's pretty uneventful. http://www.rcuvideos.com/view_video....e=&category=mr
