Nice one, John...

Here are two videos of it in flight, looks like a steady slow flyer.



Andrew_D, the designer, is flying the first one, maybe he can give some clues about trimming.

absolutely love that colour scheme.  Well done!
Would love to hear from anyone in Northern Alberta.

Nice job on the model.  I flew the particular model in the clip at the weekend and it still goes well.  Believe it or not it needed tailweight.  To avoid this give the prop a good scraping and lighten it up as much as you can...

It trims very easily.  There is down thrust built in and a bit of right thrust and left rudder is enough.  It is very stable and benign.

Rome wasn't built in a day.  But then again I wasn't on that particular job.
