Took the drop tanks off for the 1st flight, switched the prop to an APC.
He it goes: She didn't want to track down the paved runway very straight...constantly made corrections as it gained speed plan swung a lil' too far to the rt. and I began to pull back, the nose cleared the 2"grass on the rt edge of the runway, but the rt main wheel didn't and the Landing gear was pulled (along with the gear rail) out of the brittle and fragile wing at a 45 deg. angle, but the plane had otherwise taken off.[:@]
Although it has retracts in it, I left them down as a result of the TO damage.
At this point I proceeded to put it into the club pattern, and get her trimmed out, it needed a few clicks of aileron and elevator trim and seemed to track through the air very nicely. I did some high altitude stalls which didn't seem bad, and even put it into a spin. did a few low passes and flyby's getting used to the feel of her. It was surprisingly fast which I liked with the OS55AX and 12x7APC combo[8D]
I then began to practice a simulated landing at a 40' height, I slowed the plane down and at 1/4 throttle, it stalled and felt & looked much uglier than when I was at higher altitudes, so I powered up to recover. [&:]The plane was now stable and at abt. 50 yards out, 20' AGL and midfield when it deadsticked, I dropped the nose and headed for the field she dropped like a stone (not a good gliding plane). I hoped to make it to the runway given how the plane's quality owned up to the grass on TO. I tried to keep airspeed up to maintain a bit of flairinmg ability at the last moment...I found the elevator to be very ineffective in a glide though. Flairing at the lastminute, in a nose high attitude, the plane hit the grass about 5' short of the runway, ripped the other main wheel out and bounced forward onto the runway where it stopped after skidding about 1 foot.[]
rt aileron ripped out, Rt wing split, both main gear ripped out of wing, fuse cracked vertically behind trailing edge of Rt wing, vertical and horizontal tailplane are loose, most plastic parts including canopy, tailhook, wing tips, tailcone(although this part was also damaged in shipping) cracked or hasd parts simply break off.[&:]
And I have the whole thing on Video!!
I'll let you know when it gets posted.
All in all, it is fixable, but most people might consider tossing the wing.
Most smart people would recommend throwing the whole thing away, but once in the air, it did fly nicely.
Overall, the plane is brittle and fragile as I suspected. This is not a beginners ARF, though it's built like one.

The rating I would give this plane out of 10 is 4.
Looks are pretty darn good for this arf, I'd give them an 8 or 9. Flying characteristics are a strong 9, but everything else about it's quality and constuction pulls the average WAAAAAY down.
This is not meant as a bash to VMAR, but it is what it is.

On a positive note, though the wing and fuse damage is substantial, I will repair this baby, and she will fly again!
