Default RE: Oxalys Evolution full composite

Mine's been flying since early March, now with just under 30 flights on.
Some building/ assembly issues which have already been discussed, but overall a great package.
Powered with YS 1.60DZ, weight w/o canaliser, approx 4.9kgs. Doesn't seem to mind the weight in the air at all. Flies very smooth and straight, all control surfaces very powerful, I'm using fairly small (IMO) throws. CG is at 260mm from the (actual, not cutout) trailing edge of the wing, and I still think that's on the conservative side, even though it's much further aft than in the instr's.
I'm flying without the T/C at the moment, to see how I get on, and so far I see no need for it (but I'm also not one of the top fliers!). Maybe for the FO-schedules...............
The engine's a jewel (but then most of you know that already!)
Good flying to all.
Bill.
