Default Fun Fly for .25 FP ??

Well, i took the plane out for the maiden flight today. Flew great, better than i ever expected. I only got one 5 minute flight in before it got too dark to fly, but it felt pretty good. Slows down to a crawl, roll rate is insane, stall was pretty gentle and occured incredibly slow. I didnt do too much vertical stuff but it should be unlimited and with a better prop capable of hovering and such. Although, it may be a little too heavy to hover really well, i'm not sure it will have quite enough beans to pull up out of a hover. I have an OS 25FP with a 9x6 master airscrew right now. I'm thinking a 10x3 or 4 APC should really give it some thrust.

Can't wait to get it all trimmed up and dialed in tomorrow... i think this is gonna be a fun plane to fly
