Had parts at the house that needed a 50-60cc airframe; saw this on the classifieds for a reasonable amount and picked it up last weekend. Maiden is tomorrow.

No surprises during the maiden; was able to get in three 10 minute flights. I'm just a tad tail heavy right now as it pulls to belly during knife-edge flight but once I get the H9 trimmed out this Extra is going to be a very good flying plane.

Hi Rex, if you get her inverted at a 45 degree climb, does she pull towards gear or towards canopy?
i believe what you are describing is pitch coupling. which is very common with most airplanes, although what you are describing having a down elevator "trim" if the airplane is tail heavy on level flight.

Thanks.... thunderstorms all the way around me today. But 2mph winds I was not going to pass up. Got in the maiden and was about to try for a second when the skies decided otherwise. Oh well....another day. LOL
