Default bme challenger flight

yesterday i did the first flight guys did a few taxi test all looked good made a faster taxi a the ship took off with no prob did whole first flight at half throttle rec aileron throws will give fast roll sugest use limiter of about half till you are cozy with it elevators with rec throw has a lot of athority im going to 60% expo on them landing is straight forward i came in a little hot due to wrong prop used a 22/12 going to 24/8 if you fly a pitts or anything like one you will not have any problems and trim out came to 2 clicks down thats it

migflyer, what engine you're using on yours? did you had a chance to do more aerobtics? share your experience with us, would you? BTW, if you set a little negative curve on your throttle control, this plane should fly even better on your 3Ds. it seems like this Challenger responds to the engine torque quickly. So it will start to roll very quickly on a torque roll. but it's easy to be slowed down with ailarons.

the motor im using is an older 3/w 60 with side carb no major aerobatics this time due to time and on first flights i like to see how it handles and stalls. then when i bring it in i check every nut bolt basicly check everything i will post more on it after next flight
