Took off with authority by moving the CoG aft. Needed some down trim on the maiden. Flew wonderfully fast. The servo arm grabbed some of the tall grass on the landing. I think I'll install some sort of shield in front of one of the servo arms. The other is protected by the exhaust, which keeps that wing off the ground.

If I flew off pavement, I'd simply use the retracts to land, as well. I might try them for landing when the grass is shorter.


Any suggestions of a servo-arm shield?
