Good for you ROB!! That DLE was getten it! You would have thought a DA or MVVS was in it!
Great MAIDEN!:fist_pump: Lots better than mine with my 104. I had to put another few dead presidents in it after my Maiden:cryin:.
Thanks.... I was really impressed. Quick aileron rolls, steers like it is on rails, flattened out blenders....and really hooks it up. LOL. Maybe next time I can remember to use some high rates. :laughing:

The video finally finished uploading. Not the best, but it is better than nothing :) The engine was running REALLY rich, so we brought it down and leaned it out a bit. It is really strange because on the ground, it was smooth as could be, but the instant it got in the air it went rich. I have more tweaking to do, but it is flyable at this point so a little at a time while the new rings are breaking in. Don't want to get it to lean.

You said it was rebuilt. You lied, because that thing looks brand spanking new.

Thank you! When I got it the gear box was ripped out and I stripped 95% of the fuselage and recovered it. 3DHS had a sale on the wings, so they are brand new. Couldn't see putting hours into the wings when I could pick up new ones for 109 a piece. Just didn't make sense :)

Well you did a killer job.
