Default RE: Hanger 9 Tango

Both of the Tangos showed up at the field this morning and both flew well. Little tip...Has a ton of rudder authority so don't just nail the throttle and take off...it will bite you! Add throttle smoothly and use rudder sparingly! It's kinda like a Cub on steroids on take-off. Not much difference between the .55AX and the .46FX as far as power goes. Both ended up using the 12.25x3.75APC prop. The .55 started out with a 13x4APC and went down to the smaller blade. They will maintain altitude in an upright flat-spin and the spin is tight. Knife edges well. Both engines had plenty of power for anything you want. Snap rolls are extremely quick.
Does some crazy stuff just using full rudder only in a climb. Plane has alot of potential but will take some time to figure out everything it will do.
