Short remarks:

Had some rpoblems triming the plane in in the beginning (no biggi) and then I had FBW choosen as AP mode which was wrong. I usually use Level flight for starts (flip it when reached a certain level of alltitude.

The wing was flying VERY smooth in the still air (no wind). The ballance was a little bit further front then usually which seemed to work well. The tilt on the P/T was with straight forward and down to max down.

AP seemed strange. Have fiddled a bit with the roll parameters etc and probably they are to large now :/ hmm wonder what the default value was :) need to reset to that.

Tried to glide with motor off and no strange behavour. You can hear when I turn the motor off.

Also I managed to run out of trim for left ailleron compensation so the wing wanted to turn a little bit left all the time which I had to stick compensate.

Only made one fligth due to millions of small mosquitos :S they almost ate me :/

More to come.
