Default RE: World Models GS Spit Conversion - Flight Test

Added about 1 lb chunk of lead to motor mount, adjusted control throws, set expo prior to second flight. Fixed weak gear mount - rough landing broke mount loose. End result: wonderful flyer - pitch sensitivity gone (I know, well duh) - I'll post the final cg I found when I unbury my balancing sling from the pile. Put in two 5 - 6 min flights - very neutral at all speeds, big loops, nice axial rolls and yes, fast. Very much a floater on landing (for a warbird), holds in ground effect nicely with no tendency to tip stall.

Thanks,

Larry
