Took the new bird out to the testing area a while back and found that it knows a lot more about good behavior than I do. I found it to be extremely stable and capable. Lots of lift, lots of power and speed, lots of suspension, easily prerotates to 300 rpm. Independent toe brakes were easy to operate really natural. Super rudder authority.

I am a low time pilot but sticking a 10 mph landing was surprisingly easy as was high speed straight and level. All at a 4000 ft. altitude and 105 deg. temp. I guess this is what happens when a design evolves out of respect for function.

Thanks to Jim and the crew for keeping function as well as attention to detail the objective.

And they keep getting better!
