"AND
IT FLIES! "
First
flight of November One Five Seven Delta Bravo this evening, Thursday,
July 21, 2005, was short but very sweet... Unfortunately, engine
problems caused me to terminate the flight after only 4-5 minutes,
but I landed safely on the airport. The Eros flies like a dream,
at least that was my impression, and the landing was a piece of
cake...
I'll tell ya, altho I had my hands full most of the time and really
didn't get much chance to play, the Eros is gonna be a real joy
to fly....it's NOT a rudder airplane, needs very little rudder
in turns. The ailerons are light without being twitchy, the rudder
is surprisingly effective, and the pitch is not at all sensitive.
I felt completely at home in it within a few seconds of the takeoff...
Oh, yeah, the convertible canopy is really neat, too!
