Default RE: Will it fly?

OK, it looks good in the air, That's about all it did good in the air today. Almost ate the dirt a couple times after takeoff. Very hard to trim to level flight. With only 1/4" of elevator throw, pitch corrections were extremely exaggerated. The old favorite tell-all of a tail heavy airplane....squirly!!! Somehow I managed to land it without a scratch after a 5 min. "pucker factor" flight. The pictures of the maiden are of poor quality, and the video of the maiden contains some poor language. Sorry folks, I have no useful information or cool video about the maiden flight. I am going to move the CG forward about 3/4" from where it is now. The weather is supposed to be nice here all week so hopefully I get another chance to see what this plane can really do. I will try to get some good video and pictures then.
