Ok guys,
I just got back from the flying field today. I put a total of 4 flights on the plane today and it is amazing me more and more every flight. Each flight the plane gets more power as the engine breaks in.
As for flying characteristics on the plane, it flies like a 1/4 scale airframe. The wind was blowing a good 10-12mph and it tracked thought every maneuver I put it through. Every line I drew with the plane flying IMAC maneuvers, it held and never had any bad tendencies to throw it off it's line.
For knife edge, the plane has a bit of coupling. It's nothing bad at all. The plane needs about 3-4% R to E mixing and about 2-3% R to A mixing to fly knife edge loops.
This thing is a 3D monster!!!!!!! I put it through every 3D maneuver in the book and it hasn't let me down. It has no roll lock in rolling harriers, it's very stable in upright and inverted harriers, and it flat spins/tumbles with the best of them.
The video posted above is my maiden flight. Note, I'm just getting use to the plane for the first time so there is more flying around compared to 3D then what I'm doing now. Also, the plane needs a prop change to get the engine spooling up more for pull out in a hover.
I am hoping to get more better video when I take it out again.
