Well ... Due to some unforeseen delays, I didn't actually fly it until last weekend. I got about eight flights in.

The TT pro61 is a nice engine. I usually fly OS, but this engine seemed just as good, and actually a little easier to tune ... the low end idle was set correct out of the box.

The plane flies SUPER easy. It's very slow, and even at full throttle, it's pokey. Slow roll rate ... excellent rudder response, I could fly around the field with only rudder and elevator.

I set the ailerons up so that flaps and ailerons would move together when I flipped a switch (guys ... what's this called?) The roll rate improved somewhat, but it's still pretty slow.

Landing couldn't be easier ... with or without flaps ... super slow approaches and it just settles down ... almost don't need to flare. On one flight I deadsticked and it was just as stress free.

Overall? It's easy and relaxing to fly ... Not the most challening plane to fly in the world, but sure alot of fun. I think it will be a regular for me.
The Superstunts 60 is a blast to fly. I was teaching myself to prop hang with it. It was completely destroyed when I flew it inverted thru a tree. Just wish I had video of the crash. It was something to see. I miss that plane. I have two videos of it flying, one is of it prop hanging on my website on the "Movies" page.
