Guys

Got the first three flights on the Wind today, conditions very good ,17oC with about 8mph straight down the runway. Final weight 7lbs 12oz RTF, Scorpion 4025/12, Scorpion Commander 90 ESC, Rhino 3700 20C 6S battery APC 17x10E prop. The Wind flew very well, one click of up trim, at first I thought it lacked power but all the thrust was in the last 1/2" of stick travel, I will have to set up a throttle curve. I am not qualified to comment on the models ability to fly an F3A schedule but for me the performance was superb. Very strong verticals ( Using full power) lovely knife edge, inverted required a breath of forward stick with CG at 190mm back from LE. Used 2900 MA for 6 minute flights.

Only downside was last landing which was a little hot, caught a hole in the grass (very wet and soft) and cracked the landing gear plate. I have stripped out the plate and a fix is straightforward, an hours work or so.

Delighted with the Wind and will be flying again in a couple of days.
