Well the maiden was an absolute disaster strip had been mowed on Friday and Saturday morningthe breeze was at 15klm/hr straight down the strip couldn't get any better.
so powered up and down the strip it went got a little hop ( have to put in a bit of Expo on the rudder) took off and I was in a mile of hurt, struggling to maintain control flicked to low rates ele and ail still not much better decided to go around and land but didn't make it,
set up was CG 4mm in front of the plastic plate, control throws etc as per manual but I have three positions switch so set up a third low rate as well in case but that didn't help.
Model is repairable and is almost ready to try again, I will order a new fuse and some of the wheel well covers as nose one was completely destroyed but will wait till I can get it sorted before fitting new parts
