You got to add both scales together Ficky unless you have already put a few thousand miles on the that new bicycle.

I got to see Chris put the first two flights on this plane today.
Its really cool in the air. Looks real!
Good job on it Puck.

This video is the second flight out of three required flights for certification. Chris is getting an Unlimited waiver so these are some of the maneuvers he was required to do with the plane.

Thanks for the help again Wayne. We got to play more after the third flight. Everything went really smooth after the first (trim flight) mess up. Future videos will be more impressive. I just wanted to stick to what the inspector wanted. Flat turn, climb and dive, loop, rolls left and right, spin, and snaps and Oh yeah the inverted flight that my caller left out. This short coupled plane is pretty pitch sensitive and I will need to go in another hole on the servo arm. Vertical pulls like a Mac truck, Rudder works well in the hammers and point rolls. Needs about 15% elevator mixed in with rudder as it pitches pretty good to the belly.

I got to see and fly this plane at the Springfield IMAC this last weekend(Thanks Chris). It truly is an awesome bird. Seeing this plane up there you would swear Wayne Handley had stopped in to put on an airshow.

Its a beautifull flying airplane and plenty of power with this engine

Chris, just be carefull with the landing gear if its original, its easy to crack being carbon fiber filled with foam.

On mine, I changed it to a one piece aluminum landing gear with more spring to it. using 2024-T3...
By the way, mine is for sale , I need space .....
