Well I flew on Sunday and got things all dialed in. I got the flat spin part down both upright and inverted, but only to the left. The biggest problem that I encountered was a problem with my engine quitting in that tight spin. I don't know exactly how it's happening, but I can understand why it does. Probably something to do with centrifugal force and fuel....duh. Or again, maybe I don't have a clue.

I got the CG at about 5 3/4 inches and it's really flying well. It hovers great. I took an APC 12.25 x 3.75 and cut a quarter inch off of each end and kept the same fluid angle (I balanced it too) I was really surprised with how it worked. I don't have quite the RPM, but it hovers better and at a lower throttle setting. I still like the APC 11x4 the best though.
