I maidened mine a few weeks ago, I have the Thunderbirds livery. I set control throws and CG per the manual, no flaps. I flew it on the low rates and liked the way it handled.
The take off roll is a bit long (about 200') and she's slow to accelerate but once she's up to speed she flies nice. I fly around 70% - 80% throttle. The plane is not a speed demon but looks great doing fly bys.
Landings were surprising easy for me. Hold the nose up with the elevator and use the throttle to adjust the rate of descent. It looks really good with the high alpha landings.
Good luck with your maiden!
