well, i got the little beast in the air last week. the thing was really a handful. it nosed up when i gave it throttle and dropped the nose bad when i chopped the throttle. after i landed, i discovered the bottom engine mount was broken. i'm lucky to get this one back down in one piece. i've since made the repairs (new mount obviously) and am ready to try again. i'll post later after the test flight. i'm hoping for the best.
