    Here is my Maiden.

    Watch this on YouTube and select HD. As seen embedded here, the quality is at 240p, very fuzzy. HD is MUCH better.

      I don't remember but around 59-60% and just at 3.9V. I'll probably add another 30 seconds for my next flights.

      She really floats, doesn't she? This is the only plane I have to use full flaps landing to get it slowed down.

        Evan I think it's the weight that keeps it's moment up. Reminds me of my larger Turbine models.

          Hi Evan, so did you use the Flapperon setting? If you landed with the flaps down and then retracted them to use a single aileron… thanks

            Giovan, I'm not sure if flapperon is the correct term. I think that would be your ailerons also acting as flaps (or full span flaps). I pulled the flaps from the MCBe and mixed full span ailerons. So when on the flaps act as ailerons so it is full span ailerons. I am using them every flight. I have the mix on mu retract switch so when the gear are down they are not active and I have standard ailerons and standard flaps. When the gear are up then the flaps are mixed with ailerons for full span ailerons.

              Oh, okay, Evan. I get the model now—you’ve just been experimenting with different mixes. If it gives you such amazing results, I’ll give your great idea a try.

                I wanted more roll rate but didn’t want to do tailerons since I am using the stock gyro.

                  I’m going to set up tailerons, and—much like on the F-14—I’ll mix the ailerons with the flaps; this is true to the full-scale aircraft and I’m convinced it will yield the best flight characteristics. ;-) I’ll also be using the AS3X+ stabilization system, since I fly with Spektrum gear. It’s really interesting to read about the different flying styles here on the forum!

                    Here is my Maiden.

                    Nice maiden and excellent landing. What a beautiful place to fly, where are you?

                    She's obviously grass take off capable.
