The maiden went well today. I had 3 flights today, and boy was it hot here in VA (85 degrees at 8:00 am and very muggy). I left the field by 11:00. I was literaly sweatn bullets on the maiden. After trimming this beast out, it flew pretty well. I only have a 6 channel radio, and have the elevators mixed, so it was a little toublesome to get them right ( still not perfect ). The landings were a bit scary, this being my first plane this big. I spread the landing gear a little on the first one. Eventually once I learn the plane a little better it will be a real nice flyer. The DL started and ran like a dream, but I need to start adjustments on it. My friend ( with better skills than me ) liked it also. I did some knife edges, some rolls, tried to hover a little nothing too fancy. Over all it was pretty good. AND HOT.
