Default RE: Seagull Models extra 300s .75

I finally maidened mine on Sunday. All went well, I had to trim it a little. I learned that I definitely need to keep the speed up, the tips can stall easily in a slow turn. Also, I was running it rich for break-in, and the whole bottom was coated in oil, so I might use a different silicone exhaust extension. I was flying it at a club with a small field and lots of trees, so I was taking it easy, but I just joined another club with a huge open field. It is a former sod farm. Now I have a 5000 feet long, very wide field, so all I have to look out for is the ground! The club has one unusual rule: No flying alone because it is an emergency runway for Manchester and Concord airports. Hopefully, I won't have to share the field with a full scale dead stick SWA 737!
