I maiden mine yesterday.
Flies very precise and elegant, and it's easy to land.
Knife edges are unbelievable. Just a little coupling needed.
Gear worked flawlessly every time. Retracts with as low as 70 psi after a dirty fly by.
I am attaching a pic with the neutral position of the elev for normal flight, take off, and landing.
Flew with JC 160 using full bypass. Only needed half power for most of the flight. Plenty of power for verticals and go arounds. High speed passes at 70% power at the most.
Couple of tips:
-Recommended CG feels nose heavy. I moved back 1 cm (21 cm from LE) and feels much better. I will try moving it back further.
-I think that the recommended landing flaps (45 deg) are too much. Makes the plane very unstable at low speed. I reduced to 35 and improved a lot.
Jack I loved!!!! what a nice plane! and I can see that "Santiago" did the maiden flight

Looking forward to see you at CA Jets!
