Default RE: How will it fly, what should I expect?

Alfred, I never attempted verticals or inverted flight, I normally trim racing type planes to fly like they will on a racing course, but I will give it a try tomorrow, as well as add a bit of down thrust and see if that helps. Its really not that bad, just an annoying trait for racing when you are flying around yourself.

This plane will go up till it is out of sight, its doing about 110 mph now, and with an engine change will be up to 125 shortly. Just want to get the quirks figured out.

TFF, good point about the right aileron. The wing I am using now (Viper ARF) has very small ailerons, I'm not sure I would be able to get by with just one, but thats a great idea for the next one. I'll also try a clockwise pattern to see if it acts differently.

Thanks to both for your thoughts. I'm just glad it flies, and even more glad that it flies better than expected.
