I love it! massive fuse, short wings, high wing loading.....should be fun! stuck together for a peek, no graphics yet, although there are not many on this famous airplane.

I will be removing the wheel pants for the grass field for obvious reasons. I did not add the wing struts because: 1. non functional 2. poor fit 3. very heavy. made of metal and somewhere in the area of six ounces. very strong but too heavy!

I flew two test flights friday night in some wind. It flew as expected after a few clicks of up trim and a touch of right.

Both landings were a bit hot and resulted in nose over both times, much like jon's geebee. I should have not read the internet crap about the high wing loading. Grin

It will land a lot slower as I get used to it.

The pitch up with flaps is strong, but a flap/elevator mix I set up took care of that nicely.

overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Grin

You should just go for the gusto and put on the struts for full effect. I can't wait to see it up in the air.. Shawn M
