Default RE: Here she is!!!

Hi Don,
She just took off gradually, no tendency to break out left or right, no trimming needed on rudder ailevator or ailerons! (so within the first 5 seconds I knew she flies well)
During flight you can ' feel' the weight (mass) but she responds reliable on any correction, so in short she handles well!
The landing was rough because I could not get the nose down enough with flaps applied, so I was thinking to mix a bit down elevator to the flaps and add still a little bit more weight in the nose,
Flying speed is ok, Chris couldn't believe she flies so slow, (used 1/2 to 3/4 throttle during flight, max. on take off)
So next weekend some more flights and VIDEO ofcourse!

Frank (wow, what a relief.......)
