Man that plane certainly wasn't hurting for power with that new DZ up front

FWIW, my personal impression of this plane is this: winner, it's for real boys. It's easily the best F design I've seen yet. It snaps pretty well, and carves through the rollers and S very well. It's still in it's infancy but it looks like it is the real deal. It's constructed very well and is light. I REALLY think this is "the one".

It does have a ton of side area, and the only place this really seems to have any adverse effect at all is on T/O and landing in a heavy crosswind (which we had in spades this weekend). As soon as the plane gets anywhere close to air speed, it tracks out nicely. In the air, the clean design lets it cut pretty well. That's unusual for such a tall plane (and it is TALL!!!)

Just being analytical. [8D]

Great job guys!
