Again thanks for the tips....I flew her today (with my rc friend first at the controls). She flew great with no problems and just a little trim needed on the elevator. I only had to hand over the set once to my friend to get me out of trouble, so I guess I didn't do too bad. There were a number of other rc guys at the old airstrip, and they were helpful, friendly and also flew the first flight for me (as my friend was a little rusty) he took over second than after a while gave me the controls.....PaPa-NeGeorgeo, thanks for the tip. One trick my friend told me was that I could loosen the exhaust and rotate the angled output to push down and away from the wing/fuselage. I did it when I got home, so I'll see if it worked.
