<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dan - I'm glad yours is working; I had one of
the early ones that had the wing improperly located, then the CG was wrong, then
the stab position, then the "size" of the stab....you get the
picture.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In all honesty, I bought it because I thought it
would be just great. Sorta like the current Quique Yak 54 is reported to
be. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wish I'd hung in there a bit, but with all the
jacking around with it, I took the coward's way out. I'm betting that
several things got "fixed" before you got yours, and sure wish you well with
it!!!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Sorry to hear that. It is pitch sensative dialed down the
throw added a little expo everthings ok. Not sure what your problem was with
ground clearance but I hav eth bolly desafio gear and use a 17-10 still on the
original prop no nicks yet. Have not touhed the cg, aileron throw
or rudder throw since the original flight seems ok to me but I am a beginner
we will see how I do in the new season. <BR><BR>Dan<BR><BR>Bob Pastorello

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Actually, because of the gear location (too far
aft) and too short, the 16.5 x 12 two blade Bolly bit it on the FIRST
TAXI...after the air cleared from the blue haze of my expletives, I put on a
shorter APC flavor airscrew, and it staggerred into the air, pitching and
porpoising all the way. That was how I found out it had WAY too much
elevator, and not NEARLY enough anything else.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> So it flew...and hands off,
it was WONDERFUL. But make a rudder, elevator, or aileron correction,
and it was all over the place.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I remember an eye-witness
asking me "Have you got it?"</FONT></DIV>
