Default RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon

Maiden flight last night. OS 55X with 13 X 6 APC prop performed flawlessy. intital CG set at 80mm. Take off was a little squirrely, my fault for over reacting with the rudder. A little nose heavy while flying inverted. landing was picture prefect. Glided in perfectly, no bouncing noticed with throttle chopped on final approach. No stall tendencies. Readjusted CG to 90mm
Still a little nose heavy inverted, but statisfied. Three Awesome flights, ran out of daylight. The Super Decathlon is beautiful in the air. Thanks all that offered wisdom and advice that made this perfect maiden flight possible.
With the OS 55 AX and 13 X 6 APC it flies exrtemely scale like. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
