Ok!!! You can take all your Extra 300`s, 540
Edges, Katanas, any ol plane you want and toss them all in
the trash!! Give me a big Ol Fat Ugly YAK over all of them!!!
Flew 5 flights today and I`m am so impressed with this plane!!
Theres a permanent grin stuck on my face
The DA is running flawlessly, might adjust the high speed
a bit since it slightly leans when inverted. With the CG at
6.75, the 45 degree up lines both inverted and upright both
stay put, doesnt pull either to the canopy or the gear. Inverted
needs just a breath of down elevator, just the way I like
it...Rolls are as axial as they come, sweet as can be, managed
a slow roll the length of the runway, no loss of altitude
or direction at all, and that was the first one!! they only
got better!!! Rudder authority is fantastic!! knife edge flight
is very predictable and I managed very high alpha angles just
for a moment, so the possibility is there....alittle more
stick time will nail it down.
Now for the best part!! It wont stall!!! I played with slow
flight and it simply will not break!! on low rates it just
kinda harriers a bit with very slight, hardly noticeable wing
rock, on high rates it locks into a solid harrier and has
a great decent...alittle power and boom...its flying solid
again...Landings are like a trainer....there was no wind today,
so I might have been a tad fast on a couple of landings since
it wanted to keep flying....I prefer just a bit of wind so
the ground speeds are slower...but like I said...it lands
like a trainer, a click or 2 on the throttle to set up the
decent, cut to idle a foot over the runway and settle in pretty
as you please!!!
I`m not a huge 3d pilot, I prefer IMAC, and this plane will
make me shine!!
all in all, I`m thrilled!! if anyone has any doubts about
buying one of these...don`t be, you will NOT be disappointed!
3DE...looking good!! get her flying!! |
