Took off with flaps set at half, pushed the throttle to half way and it accelerated with the speed of a startled Gazzelle, was air born in less than 20 meters and climbing out and accelerating at a rediculous rate. pulled up the gear and set flaps to zero. Minimal trim adjustments were required level flight at well under half throttle seemed almost effortless with the twin Eflite Power 32's producing a lovely warble.
Flew a few circuits with a couple of lovely scale rolls thrown in followed by a few low speed passes to get a feel for the aircraft at landing speed.
Lowered the gear (which by the way worked perfectly) and selected full flaps with a pretty generous turn of speed on and aircraft climded quite violently (will need to do a elevator down mix when selectiing flaps).
Did another pass with the gear and the flaps at full and reduced the throttle to hardly 25% and it flew with very relaxing authority. Turned on final and killed the throttle. I raised its nose slightly and decended back to terra firma with the grace of a full scale aircraft. Landing roll was less tha 40 meters.
Conclusion - Very very happy, what bloody magic aircraft.
Took it up again and tried 2 passes at full throttle
Conclusion - holly shit its quick. I would say easy as fast as my PC 9 if not faster, looks like I might have a new favorite aircraft.
Flys slow, flys fast, flys scale and sounds magic.
And now I'm gunna do it all again tomorrow - YEEEEEEHAAAAA!!!
