Craig,

We may have tried crow a little but I don't recall it doing much. As with anything, it does become easier to land with more time on itand for us, added flap throw made the biggest difference beyond the stock setup although I cannot remember the specific details of how much more I added, probably 10 mm. I never noticed any negative effects of more flaps.

Craig,
It's not much, maybe about 3/8". I do not recall any trim change when I put the crow in it just how I reacted the first flight after I did it and thought huh, that did something.

I was about to order my second 2.5m Futura. But now I am reconsidering.. perhaps the Natrix.....

Well, I've got both. Only 7 flights so far on my Natrix but I would say it flies very similar to the Futura and maybe a little better inverted (less down elevator required). It also looks sleeker (in my opinion). No sense in keeping both so I will probably sell my Futura.

Is this model completely made up of CF? I can see most of the pics here have a carbon fin and lots of carbon on the body and wings.. whats the deal?

I can't speak for the "standard" Natrix but I ordered mine with the carbon fiber upgrade and it has lots of carbon fiber from near the front of the canopy opening all the way back. The vertical fin is also all carbon. I made sure to put my antennas forward and above the carbon areas. These pics show a little of what I'm talking about.

Thanks for posting Rommel.It wasn't a great day to video with the low overcast but you did a good job! I spent a lot of time on that flight experimenting with the gyro, crow settings and trim (and staying out of the clouds). Even so, I'm starting to get more comfortable with the Natrix.
