Traski,
The plane flies great! I was so nervous that I might have had a hard time making smooth adjustments, but people who saw me fly it said it looked twitchy, and to try the expo. This was on low rates, which were about what the manual suggested. My high rates are a little higher than the manual suggested. I think I like using just high rates, and maybe a little expo, but I haven't had enough stick time to figure that out. The other thing is that the CG was a little far back, which a trainer and I decided only by flying it. It balanced perfectly according to the manual. I suggest a hair nose heavy when balancing upside down at the 3.5" mark back from the leading edge. They say a nose heavy plane flies poorly, but a tail heavy plane flies once. So start with the weight a little forward, then move it back as needed.

I did get some pics before I crashed it though, so when they are sent to me I'll post them. The landing gear really came out great, and has withstood some not so perfect landings.

Should be back in the air by Wednesday
