Well, mate, it took a long time to get there, but today I flew the Ultimate. It flew well although I may need to change props to get more power. Landing? Oh yes, it lands well. You see, first the right wheel pant came loose. Then the pant and wheel came off. Not to be distracted by such a trivial event, I continued to put her through the paces (yeah, sure). I made several practice approaches before landing. I was able to keep the nose up, wings level and get it slowed down. Touchdown was remarkably straight down the runway. It helped a lot that there was no wind. A gusty xwind would have made it a bit more challenging.

I've got wheel pant mounts and axles that I'll use to nail 'em on tight. By the way, it seems that the 11cm balance point was okay. It flew solidly and without any nose-heavy tendencies. In maneuvers at really slow speeds it had no tendency stall violently. I think it's a keeper.

Cheers!
