Oh, the pleasures of the Mainde Flight... Yesterday (Sunday 6th Dec) at last I managed to tak off, despite the 'galinha louca' behaviour of my Smith..
In fact that`s just a problem til I could get the tail of the ground. Then it was a normal t-off.
Superb flight caracteristics, not as refined as a Ultimate but really fun to fly.
After some trimming and mild manouvers I culd do fairly good Loopings, Cuban-8, Hammerhead (Lot sof rudder!!!) and the like.

Landing was a breeze...on the final I used her caracteristic tendency to dive when in high degrees banking to align it to the runway; after that throtle down, hold a bit of up elevator to a easy point...

I`m realy suprised by the easy of operation, the bad behavior on t-off aside...

One very fun Sunday buzzing the skies...6 flights in all and I called it a day.

Hope you enjoy your`s as much as I enjoy mine.

Blue skies for all!!
