It flies well. I had to input a few clicks of left aileron, and a couple of clicks of up elevator. I had a 10 - 14 mph crosswind, and while it didn't affect the plane by grabbing a wing, it did push the tail with some authority. Although the wind did affect the flight, it seems like the plane is too light, and it gets blown around in the air similar to a lighter weight 60 size plane. About halfway through the first flight, I switched to high rates on elevator and aileron and was much happier with the control authority. I made a poor choice on the retracts, now one of the 3 set screws on each retract stripped when I had to stop while taxiing due to the landing gear twisting. They make it a little tough when I have nearly 1 inch of play from side to side, and about 3/4 inch from front to rear. And, although even when I had straightened out the twisted gear, and stripped the 2 screws, I decided to launch anyway if I could find a lull in the wind. Landing it without flaps, no big deal, it does take a little longer to bleed off speed, so after 2 go arounds, I got it to touch down a little over half way down the field. The G26 isn't overkill, but I wouldn't go any bigger either, as the airframe just seems light. Seems like a 120 4 stroke would work, but I may tend to go a little larger than that. Once I get a chance to fly it a little more, I will see what handles like with some basic aerobatics.
By the way, I managed to lose 3 of 4 cowl screws ......
