Hi cbk,

Nice report. I guess you're one more of the many on the plus side for this plane. Your report sounds pretty consistant. I've been trying to tell people not to worry about the 16lbs and that the performance of a strong 2.6-3.2 will be more than enough for this plane. I'm glad you were able to add more data to back this up.

Good luck on more successful flights.

BTW, from the description of your aileron setup, I really think that should be adequate to prevent flutter. Ideally for these planes I would go with a digital of at least the same static torque as the 8101's to have the high holding power of the digital, which would help give a bigger margin of safety.
