Put the maiden on my extra. all went well until a dead stick which i had to miss the field slightly. No harm done, just knocked my batts loose. Put flight 2 and 3 yesterday. Had to re tune the engine. was too rich, probably the reason for the dead stick. It flew extremely well. Nice rolls and snaps, they stop as soon as you let go of the sticks. Was a little windy but i can tell i have a slight roll in knife edge. I have mine just a tad nose heavy but i like it for now. the DL-55 pulled it just fine on a 22-8 prop. I can tell its heavier then the last plane it was on, but It pulls out just fine. I haven't done any snaps on uplines yet but i will try today to see how it pulls. So far im very impressed with it. It seems stable in any attitude. I'll try to snap some pics today.
