Well, I took the Pulse out to fly yesterday, complete with extra glued and taped control surfaces. I was still a little gun-shy, but managed to get 4 flights in on it without incident. Each flight got a little more agro, with the last one doing knife edge, loops, rolls, hovers, etc. Still no real bashing, but what a nice plane! My goodness does it land slowly! I guess now it's time to build confidence in the airframe and work up to more crazy stuff. I did notice that mine needs quite a bit of down elevator to maintain inverted flight... a sure sign of a forward CG.
It really is a head turner at the field, even though the old farts complain that there's no exhaust noise .
You mention that your servo had stripped out... what were you using on the first flights? I've got Futaba 3152 sport digitals on all my surfaces. I think they oughtta handle it.
Gotta quit typing and head to the field. Fly safe!
