Greg,

Congrats on the test flight !!

Can you please post pictures of your turbine and electronics installation under the hood ?

Im flying my pal's "old" Tamjets \ Cermark F-16 (wood wings and tails) and that thing is an absolute blast to fly, can fly slow and predictable, i enjoy every second of it ! we're flying it with a RAM 500. i liked it so much i got me one as well (wood version from Cermark) and will be putting my new JJ1400 in it, cant wait to fly it ! this should be a very nice performer indeed.

From the replies of some of the guys, i believe the composite version must be harder to fly, since this one is a real piece of cake, very stable and predictable. [8D]

BTW - regarding take off, i use a length take off run and let her build speed up, then apply elevator (low rates) and hold the elevator up until she starts lifting the nose up on herself, then DO NOT let go of the elevator (keep pulling) because it needs it to keep climbing. if you follow this, you should be getting the most beatiful scale take off ever, she will first lift the nose gear up and then will start climbing in a nice, shallow climb but with power - its a sight to see.

The landing is a whole different smile maker.
