Okay... bunch of headaches, but the fun part is the flying today!
Now let me start with some scenery and excuses. haha I've only flown the plane 16 short flights. I was messing with the carb on a new 3W engine most of that time. I was headed to the field after work rushed most every time. And, I was somehow trying to get a video out of it, as well (mostly handing the camera to people I had just met to film, haha). I never put in any mixes nor really got used to the plane. I noticed it landed easy (around half the landings were filmed and all 16 have settled onto the runway like a mosquito with sore feet). I noticed it torque rolled hands off, and I noticed it liked to fly very round in precision circles (no effort was needed to make a very round circle). It also liked to stay level in precision rolling circles. All the while, though, I had an engine that was not making any power because of the carb situation. Well, if you underpower a plane you are not really giving it a chance.
Today, with the power up, the plane really started coming to life. It was way more fun to fly. And, that motor is still a mile away from full power because, for whatever reason, I did not break it in on lawnboy like I always used to (I'm running Belray H1R). Now onto what is really fun...
High speed rolls! Very effortless with this plane. Very axial with this plane. Very controllable with this plane (altitude and heading). And very cool looking with this plane. This plane is a thug for thugs. haha And, a 40% just looks way cooler doing full throttle rolls than a little baby 1/3scaler. haha Real men do not let their flying buddies fly baby 1/3scale planes. haha
