Thanks for the comments Sašo.

I did fly again today and things went much more smoothly. It was still breezy, but not too bad. It sure does have enough motor, i dont think i ever went over half throttle. It'll be a little while before i am as comfortable with this as i was with my big stik. I'm not sure if it was just the wind today or what, but the plane seemed kind of unstable. Even with my hands off the sticks, the plane would sometimes do small little jerking movements. Made me look like an even shakier pilot than i am, lol

It's hard to describe, but the plane just feels kind of strange, and is a little bit of a handful. Probably part of it is caused by me flying a little slower than is ideal. Tomorrow i'll probably follow the trimming procedure in the manual and see if i can't get the plane flying better. Maybe i'll try moving the CG ahead a little if it still doesnt feel right.

As far as the roll rate, it did improve a bit after i increased the throws, and more airspeed also helped. Although it's still not what i expected.

Like i think i mentioned before, this is my first four stroke powered plane, and i'm really tripping out on that part of it. I love the smooth running, throttle response, and best of all the sound. The saito is also a very beautiful engine, with the polished valve covers, pushrod tubes, and intake pipe. Also the curved cooling fins look nice. It has the same type of pleasing characteristics as a nice watch. I guess i just enjoy a well made machine.
