I was the lucky guy who got to maiden..I only had one click of left trim..perfect on every respect..The DA-85 is a powerhouse and the planes lands like a foamy!
This was Phil's first kit built plane..and shows that the Dalton kit is an easy build and well documented and supported by Dalton team!

What did you use to sheet the surfaces with. I did not notice the surfaces weighted down. It looked like they were only clamped between the foam. Just curious.

The finished plane looks nice. How does the 85 pull it? Any video?

Just curious...why did you change the rudder from a push-pull set up to a pull-pull??
