Hello friends,

I want to get in this discussion too. I know I might be late but need to confirm many of the same issues as the other fellas. I got this plane this winter and fell in love with its style, looks and great price. There is NO WAY anyone can build this plane for the price of the ARF. Keep up the great deals GP!!!

However, I concure with the guys about the flight characteristics. I had it set-up by the book. The CG was right on, the mount flat on the firewall, wing and stabs at 0 degrees. I was using the suggested ST 2300 and Trueturn 4" spinner. What a beauty (took third place at the mall show)

On the first flight the plane took off in about 15 feet pulling up in to a loop. I added a ton on down to get flying level. At first I though I was tail heavy. When I cut the power it dove to the ground. I was fortunate to still have it. I began to do research on the net when I began to read of the possible thrust problems. Now on the sixth flight I am getting closer. The engine is 1 degree down, tail still has down in it, and I added three turns of the aileron linkages in to give it a more positive incidence. I now flies straight in power and cut power, tracks straight in a 90 degree dive, but still pulls to the belly on knife edge. I have some flight time on video that I am going to make digital for you geeks out there.

Personally I would love to get my hands on one of those the GP guys are flying. I want to compare, cause something isn't right. Don't worry though cause I still love the plane still a little shakey when flying it, cause I am not sure what it is going to do. So if you are ever in South Central Indiana stop by our field it is very nice. Paved runways picnic area, great people, and great place to fly.
