Default Succesful Maiden Flights!!

Gents,
Finally had a chance to get this bird in the air today for the first time My wife did her best to take a few pics of the occasion. This machine is the easiest flying low wing plane that I have -- without question. What's really cool about this bird, is that like alot of RC planes -- it has inherited the habits of the real aircraft. Definitely has the tendency to torque-roll at take off (just like the real one) -- and it must be landed a little bit "hot" -- or it will want to tip stall. The three-bladed prop is a great scale item that really enhances the appearance -- but it also acts as a brake when you are bringing it in to land. I "dead stick" the majority of my landings with no problems (to avoid prop strikes) -- but you definitely need to carry a little speed when bringing this thing in. The other cool thing about the stock configuration is that it behaves like a true "E" fighter -- in that it doesn't have the tightest turn in the world -- but really climbs out well, and can really make good speed at level flight and naturally in a dive. You'll have to forgive the photography -- my wife had a hard time keeping up with it

It also handles the wind quite well!!
