Well I tried taking off from concrete a few times but it really wanted to go right, and finding the proper amount of rudder to go with the proper amount of throttle to reach takeoff speed eluded me, so I flipped it into the grass or made a complete circle around me.

I gave up and just hand launched and it flew just like I'd expected. Sort of lumbering but stable at low speeds, and I have way too high rates for fast stuff. My wheels also don't work at all in the grass no matter how much I tried to just barely touch down, it would just flip right over. I also didn't program any elevator to go with the flaps so holy smokes did it want to nose up when I turned them on even half way. I ended up with a somewhat minor crash that caused a bit of an issue:

The wing sort of decided to get smaller by folding up that back tab. It looked fine and flew fine after the crash, but suddenly it snapped up like that, which tilted the wing down, and I thanked my lucky stars that there's plenty of elevator and power to be able to keep flying, bring it around and land safely. I'll have to add some popsicle sticks or something to keep it from folding in and arching up like that. I should have put the back rubber band sticks a little further back probably.
It seems to fly just like the larger Bushwhacker, where you can just point it and give it the proper amount of power to hang at weird angles. I only had about 5 minutes to play with it before I busted it and had to return home but should be a simple fix. I had no tip stall issues even at 0 throttle with lots of up elevator.
