Hey, everyone!</p>

I maidened my 109 this afternoon! I bought it from Nitroplanes on the after thanksgiving sale for $237.  I am running the Dave Patrick Blue Head 1.80 with 18X8 prop.  I have 10 standard servos on the flight surfaces and air up, air down, robart retracts. I mounted the tank and all the accessories in the wing just like Scalecraft did, Thanks Steve!  I also copied your hidden elevator control rod, Thanks again!  The plane was a bit squirrelly on taxing on our grass field, the tail kept wanting to lift.  Hit the throttle and rolled about 30 feet and climbed to about 300 feet.  It flew great mostly at about quarter throttle, a little overpowered!  Made a few passes and floated in nicely into a 15 mph headwind to a perfect landing. Wonderfull plane!</p>
