The photo lightened up the colors. I used royal blue and true red Monocote. Both are a lot darker.

The flight test went very well. Some trim, cg and throw issues, nothing serious. I'll start real testing later this week. The ST61BH and a 12/6 prop are, if anything, too much power.
The short fuselage looks really funny after flying my Deceptions for so long.

It lands like a dream with that big wing and low wing loading.

Good to see you yesterday at Ocala with the new Beachcomber. Aircraft looks great on the ground and in the air. Good luck with future flights.
