Desafio 2000 S

[Bob Pastorello]

Actually, because of the gear location (too far aft) and too short, the 16.5 x 12 two blade Bolly bit it on the FIRST TAXI...after the air cleared from the blue haze of my expletives, I put on a shorter APC flavor airscrew, and it staggerred into the air, pitching and porpoising all the way.  That was how I found out it had WAY too much elevator, and not NEARLY enough anything else.
    So it flew...and hands off, it was WONDERFUL.  But make a rudder, elevator, or aileron correction, and it was all over the place.
    I remember an eye-witness asking me "Have you got it?"

Not too long before it went south.

          Well....since I've owned and flown both competitively....on a 1 to 10 scale....10 being "can't be better" and 1 being "wish I didn't have it"....
              The 2000 S was about minus 4....

          'Course, just my biased opinion.
        Does that mean you gave the judges points to watch you fly it ?
