did it !

I went to the field last week and tossed it off the hill. The controls were less responsive than I expected, except the elevator. I was a little scared to stall so I was going really fast. I was struggling to keep it level against the smallest gusts of wind, but nothing bad happened.

I landed it a moment later without problem. It seemed to stabilize itself when close to the ground (!?!?), I don't know why, maybe because of the slower speed?

I tossed it about ten times, getting better every time, no crash, only 2 hard landings but nothing broken. This is great! I'll to try the hi-start this weekend!
