Flew the dream a couple more times today, great blue sky and buy did it look good.
i caught my self walking back to the pics from the car and thinking, i own that thing there, that big aerobatic wotsit, thats mines that is.
so i fueled up, went out, gave up trim again ( changed all the links last night, ps, tired to change flap in flight, didn't do much to pitch, so why the up elevator?, tho i think it's pitching towards canopy on KE now thanks to a bit of flap )
more perfect stall turns, a prophang attempt, but it wont yet, far too unstable, wonder if the CofG is too far back, pull up to stall... tail slide, recover to low KE across the patch, slowish roll back to KE, up up up, over the top, KE loop, KE up to stall, power full down, lots of tight bunt things, climb again, sticks somewhere i don't know, wings are pointing up and down and i'm spinning around them ( sure that has a name ) back to climb, blender recover to harrier ( comes down more nose down than before? changed servo horn from bottom to under tailplane, more throw now? ) lots more spins and KE and stall turns
perfect 3 point landing.
i just did one of the most "showy" flights ever, looked like i knew what i was doing and had a plan too, love this plane.
