Default RE: post some pictures of your pattern plane!!

Maidened my X-treme ProLine this afternoon, only had time for two flights. First impression, not bad at all. The plane felt a bit tail heavy, cg very similar to my Akiba built ProLine. Unfortunately, it's over weight - 5.05 kg, have to find a way to lighten it. Mine is the first 5 prototype imported by BVM, and I think it is the heaviest.

I started off with about 1/2 degree pos wing incidence, but had been gradually reducing it. Up/ down line very solid, slight pull to the belly on left rudder, and very slight pull to the canopy on right rudder. Hopefully, I will have a chance to fly again in the next few days.
