> All I can say is WOW !!!

> I flew the Brio today and what a blast!  The first flight was pretty
> much uneventful. A couple clicks here and there and the plane flew
> great!  The OS 140 has PLENTY of power and started right up!
> 
> During the second flight after about 8 minutes the pipe slipped out
> of the coupler and I had to land. A little rough, with a bounce but no
> damage. The rudder is so sensitive that I over corrected a bit
> and the nose dropped down suddenly and I touched down a little
> harder then I would like.
> 
> The third flight was all joy! I fixed my pipe problem and I could not
> believe how nice and smooth this plane made me look!
> 
> A few things that jumped out that need trimming...
> 
> The balance seems fine at 8" from the leading edge at the root.
> 
> It seems to have a bit to much right thrust with the 16.5 x 12 2 blade
> prop but I think that can be mixed out for now until I see how it acts
> with other props.
> 
> In knife edge going right with the canopy facing me it pushes a bit to
> the wheels. In knife edge going left with the canopy facing me it
> pulls just a little to the canopy.
> 
> I will start working my way through the trimming guide next time out.

> Thanks again for everyones help!
