Default RE: CMP Hellcat

Randy,
I’m very pleased that all went well, it will take some flights to get used to it for sure. What was your final weight again? You have completely scaled that thing out, so it’s flight characteristics are understandably more demanding. Did you try to slow it down at altitude to get a feel for the stall? Also slowing it down and dragging it in with the prop may be a good technique for this one. The wing is so thick, it seems kind of funny that it would not slow down, even with flaps. Do you think it might have been some nerves helping that along? I’m curious about your further flight tests. If nothing else the darn thing looks really good! I and very impressed with your work, very nice, it looks like a Hellcat.
