Hello,
I have finally maidened my Skybolt today. I got it up, trimmed and down in one peice but it wasn't fun. I could use some help as all my flying experence ( Ten Years) is with combat planes. ie: no rudder or landing gear. It has the Saito 125 with 14x7 3 blade. Plane weighs 10 lbs. I tached the engine at start and it peaked at 9k and I backed it off to 8600. Is this in the ballpark as far as rpm's with this prop? I let the plane run the whole length of the runway to gain airspeed and in my mind it didn't seem enough but I lifted off anyway and just about lost it. Wings were dipping left and right while the plane tried to gain airspeed. once in the air it was ok. The next issue was at landing. I had a slight crosswind maybe 5 mph. I banked to line up with the runway and it seemed the tail did'nt want to come around so I gave some left rudder and the plane rolled right. Did I input to much rudder so that caused the roll? Thanks for any help.

Rick
