Don't have too much info...
Engine is the trusty MW54 Mk3 mounted with 5 deg down-thrust. No burning of the stabiliser occurred. Indeed the stabiliser was completely unmarked. Steve had taken the precaution of covering the lower surface with aluminium tape.
Control movements were as the instructions and were O.K.
Retracts were the supplied Graupner units.
3mm control rods and clevises were used throughout. Kavan pinned hinges were used.
The two elevator servos are mounted as the book but with a standard Y lead - opposite side servo arms are used.
The stall when it eventually came was a very gentle nose drop. The Falcon almost came to a halt before stalling in the 5 to 8 mph headwind.
Very little down was needed for inverted flight.
Both pilots reported that it’s a “*****cat” to fly.
