Popped down quickly this afternoon for the maiden of my CloudsFly / AXN Floater Jet. As stock, no real issues -- bit of a tendency to pitch down with power, and will modify for a little more elevator and aileron control authority. Looking forward to having another plane to bring down to the field. Thanks to Steve M for finding a replacement for a linkage nut which popped off never to be found again during final checks.
Unfortunately, 0 from 2 for my mate Colin's ME-163, as Chris and Steve can attest to. Came awfully close on the first attempt, but after two failures and deciding to switch to a finer pitch prop Col found some damage to the prop collet and that was that. Very keen to see this thing fly.
