Schimmie

Fly when your calm and have checked all the surfaces and CG. If you have this warbird, I'm not going to bore you with the other basics of warbird takeoffs and landings. You should already be seasoned in these characteristics.

Its really forgiving when you get calm and practice a bit. I got cocky on my second flight and just throttled up fast thinking I was familiar with the model from a few flights (see youtube "CMP 109")..

My OS 108 is powerful enough with a 15X8 to pull this model hard to the left at around 75% power. Imagine the torque of the OS 160 with a larger prop. I over estimated my learning curve. Just be ready with the rudder, it will handle it.

You'll be ok. Good luck
