Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

Well, I flew the maiden of my Super Skybolt today. It was a really nice day up here in New England (49 degrees) and no wind. My S.S. is powered by a Saito 125 with Futaba FAAST spread spectrum. Balanced per the book, throws set for my comfort. This is one pretty plane. With my skis on, I fired up the motor, did a range check and brought her to the runway. Gave it throttle, tracked nice and straight and it just climbed right off the ground. A little rudder pull to the left, a click of down elevator and a click of left aileron. With a 16x6 APC it really screamed so I backed of to less than 1/2 throttle, loops, rolls, stall turns, everything just perfect. Made my approach and it just tracked right down to the runway. Couldn't ask for a better 1st flight.

Great Planes, another winner!!!!!
