Default RE: CA Models ENVISION

Just in from Jas that he has been out flying his Envision today and he is really pleased. He sent me a few pics from his phone at the field as well as an update over the phone. So far he says the following.

Elev mix on knife is 2% and Roll mix is under 5%. These are with point mixes but he has not yet moved the points in to where they actually need to be to line up with the amount of rudder needed. My guess is the mixes will come down to somewhere between .5 and 2 once he does that. Snaps are awesome but he is having to play with the inputs to get the spins right. It is a swept wing and they require different inputs so he is working with that. This plane was the first so it is a little heavier then the production planes are. When I say this I need to clarify its not over the limit with 5000 and Ja says he has done nothing to make it light. (Heavy RX pack and speed control being the two things he mentioned) I know he recieved the plane tues. and test flew it yesterday.

Jason will give a full update on the build and first flights once he gets his computer back.
