I had a successful maiden today, plus an additional 3 awesome flights! I can see why this is John's new favorite bird because this plane is awesome. I was so comfortable with it by the second flight that I ended it with a harrier landing I spent the 4 flights I had on it today fine tuning my CG, next time out I will start with the mixing. The plane felt extremely locked in during precision type manouvers, and 3D was a blast! I had no problems bringing her down on the deck, and it was super stable.

I'll post more about my setup in the AM, right now I'm exhausted! I did manage to resize some pics for posting though Big thanks to Jeff for taking the photos!

I shoved a 32oz smoke tank in the can tunnel. I got 8min, with a leaking pump (leaked ALOT!) so I know itll do over 10 when tuned up.

For once your hands weren't shaking during the maiden! You got comfortable with that plane fast. Not too many people are doing rolling harriers 3 feet off the deck on the second flight.

Now go stock up on some smoke oil!!!
