Default RE: Richmodel Long EZ 65

Finally got a chance to fly the plane this weekend. After a considerable amount of trim, she was flying really well and smooth. I put about a pound in the nose to offset the TT Pro 61. Has a lot of presence in the air and glides forever. I had to idle on the downwind leg to land before I even began to turn final just to slow it down before touchdown. After the first flight, I added in more expo on my JR9303. I've got 40% on the elevator and elevons. Much better on the sticks and used quite a bit of rudder to straighten out the loops. I tried to fly it without he canard elevator (used a mix to turn it off/on) and I don't recommend it even though I have elevons. So, total of three flights and pretty happy with the looks and performance. Build was pretty fast too.
