Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread



We had a great day out yesterday. I was practicing with the two Mikes at our secret east alabama test facility.

Really enjoy the groove with the new plane. Got 4 flights. Still flying with no mixes, the only changes are reducing the low rates on all control surfaces and increasing expo. I was at 8 degrees on low rate I am now at around 6 degrees (Ail, Ele). Amazing sharp control with very little surface travel. I feel really connected to the VF3, and it's a confidence builder - on my first flight of the day I did a half rev-cuban on take off from the deck and did a low fly by back down the center line. Yea - the Mikes liked that !!!!

I can tell you hands down that the VF3 is an amazing rolling machine. I mean super easy and perfectly axial.

No indicated need for mixes so far. I am only flying with very little down elevator to idle.

It looks like monday will be a good fly day, more reports to come...

thanks all....
