hmm, if i don't recall it all wrong i think i had to trim the elevators very much to get the thing off the ground, probably due to some payload issue.. i think it was something with that.. i'm shure someone with much more knowledge of this will inform both you and me about this matter :]

Hi Glenn,

I just had a trial with the thing.
The truth is that you have to apply at least two thirds of the available trim to get it off the ground with stick action.
Don't forget that this is not exactly the most powerful bird in the fleet :)

It takes a lot of hands-on flying to take this one anywhere.

Yes, it is quite sensitive. Also, if I remember well, it is one of the very few planes that flies better when it is a bit more tail heavy. ;)
