I maidened mine last night (Saturday). We actually had two identical planes to maiden. Both of them flew beautifully. My Extra took a click or two of left aileron and the other took a couple clicks of up elevator. Knife edge flight, slow rolls, solid 4-point rolls, blenders, flat spins and harriers are all performed well well with this little plane. It was tought to tell if the 480 would hang it on it's prop. It was fairly windy and the planes were getting knocked around a little. I've had a bunch of foam 3d planes and never really liked the way they flew. This plane is exactly what I was looking for. I hope everyone has the same luck we did.
