A successful maiden flight. CG was good with 2 lbs lead in the nose. Good rates using recco low rates. Plenty of power with DLE55. More flights to come - maybe video and bomb drop

How is the performance with the DLE55? I'm thinking either the 55 or the DLE61. Both are the same size, but the 61 is about AU$100 more.
