Default RE: Tower Hobbies Uproar 60 build

The Uproar is finally done. I put a Saito 91 in it as close to the firewall as possible and put the battery behind the throttle servo. Having done that it required no additional weight to balance within limits. I put high torque servos in the elevator and rudder and standards everywhere else. After doing a couple passes to do some trimming I tried some simple aerobatics and hovering. I still am not great at hovering but this plane seems to do it fairly easily. I also didn't really pay attention to what the instructions called for on throws I just put it where I liked it. The video of the maiden flight can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wO5eekLN6M

Oh on a side note the landing gear is a little short and a 14x4W prop barely clears as you will see in the video at the end
