Default Global Freestyle CoG

Well it's flown..

Took it to field today, ran 3 tank fulls through the new ASP 52S.
It was a bit too windy really but I thought what the hell, no better way to test a new model and a new engine.

COG was set @ 4 1/4" back. Take off uneventfull and short, 2 clicks down elevator, 1 click right aileron and it's trimmed.

I just did a few gentle circuits, a couple of rolls a few loops and a little inverted. I did not push it much further as the wind was gusting badly but early signs are showing the is going to be a great little flyer. Going to try again midweek and start pushing it through it's paces so will report back then, can't wait..

Why is it when there are only 2 people at the field as there was today (myself and a heli pilot) we are both on the same frequency? Murphys Law I Guess? Lucky I had a sackful of crystals with me
