Bill - go check that thread - just posted today's results. GLOWING.

Now - for my flight report - this is an outstanding airplane, capable of every tumbling, twisting, gyroscopic, gut-wrenching manuever ever invented. And new ones that are thought up on the spot. At 13.9 lbs, it accelerates vertically, rolling, and that is NO exaggeration.

Slow handling is "motionless", zero ground speed in a slight breeze, and still solid. None of the "Crappy Cap Snappy" stuff that owners of earlier generation Caps from GP remember only too well. This one is NOT anywhere near unstable. MY CG is exactly per the book, and so are the high rates, which are all I'm flying at this point. NO 3D yet....

This is a very good precision airframe, too. I'm surprised a little at how axially it rolls, and how positively it starts and ends snaps and partial snaps. It is just a very good aerobat, and I wouldn't hesitate to say it's a "keeper".

The ONLY thing that sucks - so far - is the lightened backplate stock spinner, which distorted when tightening properly to keep it on the front with the DL 50 spinning it. Oh well. And of course, the wheel pants have cracked on all four "inner" corners where the wheel opening is, requiring my CF strips/CA reinforcement. Also - I tossed the tailwheel, as I just don't like the trash they put in there, and went with my modified Sullivan with a threaded-rod tiller attached to the bottom of the rudder.

Everything else is dead stock, doesn't need modification, and this has proven so far to be just a really delightful aerobatic package with unreal performance capability with the DL 50.
