I took the Mini Scout out today in some pretty high winds. I had so much fun.. I felt like I was flying a hawk. I'd climb high and kill the power and let it sit there, almost perfectly still hovering above the field. .

Yep, flying in the wind is a lot of fun. But don’t tell anybody. That way the sky will not become overcrowded in the wind.

I had no way of telling what kind of results my minor adjustments made to flight characteristics.

Sounds like your thrust angles are pretty close. If they are off you will go from straight down to level flight in 75 to 100 feet.

Mini scout is awesome. Just dont glue your wing in. Let it be able to move on impact. One of the easiest, toughest planes FT makes.

Congratulations Mode 1 on successful flight!! I'm sure you'll find this plane extremely fun to fly once it is, or almost dialed in!!
