I just got lucky to hook up with a good bunch of guys.
the UnCivil Wars are awesome and we look forward to them every spring and fall.
But you are within driving distance of the SEFF. I'm just a little envious
Once you are getting more used to the plane and are feeling a little daring, you can turn up the rudder throws.
You don't need to turn the elevator up so much or it becomes twitchy, especially at launch time.
It can be a challenge (try wayyy high) but the plane is capable of flying inverted.
(It's a challenge because the wing is designed to "right" itself)
Really cool looking snap rolls and spins can be done too but not for the faint of heart.
The little fluorescent pink and orange plane is my Pelican.
The green one is an Albatross with a park 480 motor (way bigger than the recommended)
