Default RE: Engine placement

I got my engine all set up as far back as it would fit and dead straight. I guess it doesn't really affect the ground handling as much as we might think cuz mine tracks dead straight too. LOL. I went out yesterday and maidened it (and soloed at the same time). It flys just as well as Arrow #1 which shall herein be known as Dart. Got five 10-15 minute flights in with no issues and only two clicks of left aileron. Since my regular instructor wasn't around and I had a little more freedom I got some altitude and tried some more aerobatic stuff. Got used to the plane not flying straight and level. Hopefully I see an instructor again soon so I can get my papers signed and get my wings. A great weekend all in all.
