ORIGINAL: Hot Rod Todd

He said in an earlier post he balanced at 112mm Bob. I was wondering if during the maiden he had a chance to fly inverted to test the amount of down elevator needed to fly level. It seems to be a decent way to check the CG setting on a Warbird.
I balance all my birds upside down, but out of pure terror, I didnt get to do inverted flight other then in a few split S and rolls. It didn't take much down elevator for inverted, really couldn't tell you exactly as my hands were shaking. When I go up again, I'll make sure to get a few inverted passes in. Hopefully to have a video.
