It went ok, I let one my preferred test pilots do the first run, the take off run was a bit longer than I'd expected, and once I got hold of the controls found it real nice and precise.

The only thing that caught me out was a slight snap to the slow/sharp turns, but apparantly this is to be expected for this type of model - pattern ship and high wing loading - and alas, my landing was a bit slow and it dropped the last foot and damaged the cowl, glad I was flying from the grass strip! Other than that, it handled really nice, and I expect to have a lot of fun with it. It wasn't blisteringly fast, but I expect that it'll get better as the engine gets more run in and I spend a bit more time tuning the pipe.

Since then I have not flown it, mainly been busy with other models, I have taken it to the field many times, but not quite felt ready to fly it solo again without my buddy pilot handy.

Thanks for the interest,

Chris
