Default i am now a real member of the giant scale

i wish someone told me how much of a difference that a real giant flys. i moved from 120 size to 50 cc. thought that was cool. i have been flying a gp wagstaff for a year now . i knew it was heavy compaired to newer arfs but....i flew my new 33% da85 toc 260 today for the first time. my wife bought it for me this past christmas and its been finished for a few weeks now. got the sac to maiden it this afternoon after running it on the ground for an hour or so. i did this one right and assembled it light with 123s and an ar9100 with good digital hi-techs. now that i have bragged about my new plane back to the point. light and powerful is right. never never will i fly a heavy plane again . i cannot get over how comfortable i became in 10 minutes. i was hovering at just over idle ,knife edging just over idle and 4 point rolls like it was on rails. i found the world of hucking all over again today and i cant wait until next weekend .
