I don't think I have read anything positive about it's flying qualities. I 
don't have exact figures, but I'd guess the wing loading is way lighter than 
scale. I'm looking at an "expect anything" kind of maiden flight. I'll fly 
it as a rudder,elevator, throttle model. There is a bit of non-scale 
dihedral  and I intend to build in a bit of washout in the tips. The wing 
warping is on the throttle stick (left) and is just there to bump for wing 
leveling. That's the battleplan anyway.

Taking BvB out for dinner & drinks so I'll finish painting .....tomorrow :-)
