| Recognizing the error makes you better than 90% of the citizens of this country. You've done a top notch job on her. |

| I put the markings upside down on my A6M Zero! no sweat schmalra... people fly the Texas flag upside down all the time! (i think it means we're in Ecuador) :-) |

| Hi Peregrin!
Today i made trim flights. She flys pretty good, but not in a circle. So i wasn't able to take a pic. I don't know yet how to make her fly i a circle. Also i only have the short guillows rubber, so the flights a short. One wing strut got off, but i can fix it. |

| congrats! mine circled as built, probably one wing a little heavier than the other. you can try adding a small trim tab to either rudder or aileron position-- make out of post-it note or removable tape. My flights were short as well, but still satisfying. I'm certainly no expert, I would refer you to the hangars of scigs30, hjlittman, and John Cooper if you haven't seen these already. btw, I have someone with me to take flight photos-- just not enough time to launch and work a camera. |
