UPDATE:
I spent some time flying after the maiden and made some changes.
1) Reduced Expo from 70% to 55% on Aileron and Elevator.
2) Increased Expo from 25% to 35% on Rudder.
3) Moved CG to 120mm back from 100mm.
4) Added aileron reflex on the right slider. Reflex helped quite a bit on high alpha slow flight.
5) Balanced the plane longitudinally--added weight to port wing tip.
I wonder how many times I'm going to let Longitudinal balance kick me in the nuggets. I had the CG so far back at one point it climbed while inverted--that was too far ;). Now it is almost perfectly neutral while inverted and knife edge is much better.
The reflex and expo changes helped calm the plane down but I still just need stick time with it. Overall, I would say it flew about 50% better today.
This is the http://rcvideoreviews.com maiden flight of the Red Eagle Model Hummer 3D EPP RC Plane.
I'm going to move my CG back and fly it again before I make any judgment calls. It is very much in line with the MX2 I recently maidened in terms of flight characteristics.
