Today I logged 40 minutes on the Puppeteer over 4 flights (counted as trips back to the pit for fueling) and perhaps 10 landings. This was maybe the first day that I've really felt comfortable with it. The first flight was in a drizzling rain, the second in bright sunshine and high humidity, and the final two in increasingly dark skies.

I worked on nice long scale take-offs and climb outs. I notice that I needed to hold in significant right rudder throughout. I also worked on getting the feel for rudder response on this model. Full over wiggles the tail a bit but doesn't cause much of a roll as it does on some models. The nose drops when I add in rudder so I got used to doing throttle and rudder together. I'm not yet doing any aerobatic with the Puppeteer but I did some increasingly tight turns which will eventually morph into a stall turn.

I was alone at the field as I'm likely to be anytime except Sat. and Sun. mornings. There are however 15 or so dogs that live out there to keep me company!
