Default GiantScalePlanes Hellcat

I finally took my Hellcat up for its maiden flight today, and what a great flying plane!





These pictures were taken after the initial flight. The take off roll was scale and uneventful. The plane has no tendency to nose over on grass, and check how tall the grass is in these pictures. The plane required one right click on the aileron and six up clicks on the elevator to fly straight and level. With full flaps deployed, the plane floated in at a slow pace and touched down ever so gently on the runway. When flaps were deployed, the nose pitched up so I had to use some down elevator to keep the plane flying level. Those Century Jet air retracts worked flawlessly. I cannot wait to fly this plane again.
