A couple things, did anyone notice the fabric dancing on the wing, and did anyone notice how little aileron movement sent it quickly rolling?

Hey Robert,

I have to say I noticed both of those things. I didn't realize to was the fabric at first but it moved with the flow. All this 3D stuff these days makes people put too much throw in all of their control surfaces. A little bit of throw on a properly balanced plane will do amazing things, but of course you already know this. . . . . . :yesss:

Ok, here is my next engine!

Not! lol.
That powerplant is a Valach 800.
That is just to big. I could not imagine trying to live with that. Just logistics alone is nuts. With all that is needed to get it to the field, fly it and get home and cleaned up would maybe happen twice a year, just not worth the effort. Nice plane but not to have.
