I flew the plane again on Friday the 15th of August. I had a good engine run and trimmed the plane, a few clicks, about normal for a new plane. The CG is set at the 4.88 inch location. I also set 5 and 8 degrees of down elevator for the two flaperon flap settings. This thing is a blast to fly. I went back to the 13-8 APC and took some extra time with the tach to dial in the engine again. The plane needs distance on takeoff from the grass so I switched to our hard surface. Flying with the flaperons is great fun. The plane handles great at slow speeds with or without the flaps lowered. Loops and slow rolls are a breeze. We took her up high and cut the throttle and it started to glide like a glider. We also did a vertical stall turn and it was uneventful. The plane is gentle on landings, it floats in. You will have a lot of fun with the 500.
