<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>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
