46 BOGEY TEST
Second Test
I'm still revelling in how well the second test went, this plane can do everything,.
The first launch was with full rates and no expo' very responsive on elevator,
2 clicks of down and she was in trim, switching in the expo had her calmed down
and I was immediately sure this one was a winner!
Still relatively small for the size of the engine, this gave her a very good turn of speed,
but slowed down she was floating gracefully.
Inverted flight needed very little forward stick negative G pushovers were no problem,
roll rate was very good and loops were tight without snapping out!
The plane does everything that the .28 sized combat version does
and is still as tough with the advantage of the extra power;-)
