The plane flies great, but you would be advised to allow a longer than normal runway length especially for your first flights.

DO re-inforce and epoxy the main gear area as much as possible. Especially at the beginning, this area takes a lot of of abuse... you WILL bounce the plane on your first flights which is not good for it.

It lands hot... see above... for the flaps suggestion...


IMHO it is very different than a standard tail dragger.

Your first flights should be spent trying to get it back down safely and practising for landings.
