Default RE: Revolver maiden

Had another two great flights on the revolver on Tuesday...
It flies great and fast on my OS .61...most of the time at half throttle.
To chop the speed down I've learned to do the crosswind leg at almost no throttle...feather in a little more for the upwind leg and stay on the throttle if you find it ballooning on the landing approach.
It's almost like you have to fly it in, vs. the standard controlled stall of other planes...

As for the performance...wow...
The prop line is right down the middle of the fuse, so it rolls like a pattern plane.
This is a very fun plane and now that I have the landing gear assembly properly secured, glued and screwed, I can have fun learning what it and it's pilot can do...

Great plane, great looks.
