It's 59 degrees and raining at 8:35 in the evening here in the Northern Willamette Valley Oregon -- 45 point some odd degrees _North_ latitude, but it still hasn't figured out that spring should be here.

The grass is going nuts, and it hasn't been dry enough to mow for weeks.

Wynn,
Glad you guys are not snowed in yet.

The Rex looks kewl but I still think it needs a blue engine and a smoke trail.

Thanks for sharing the video with us.

And I would not want to see you fly in a thong.

The video is cool.  Like your flying site and the no flip start.  Here in Kansas the last week of school it became summer.  Week before was still wearing long sleeves in afternoon and jackets in morning.  No Spring here, just went from Winter to Summer as it usually does.

Have not commented on the flying of the plane as I figure you are still trimming.  Looked smooth in level flight tho.

You should have some droop in the elevator at neutral flap...  I bet yours is flat/flat.  That is why it it hunts down inverted.

Just guessing.

NAW - it flies nice upright and inverted - on this flight I had changed the rake of my handle as I was not comfortable as to where it was - and was getting used to it - the plane definately needs trim - but hey - it's only had 6 flights so far....
