Hey everyone!

I flew my newly completed DAW Ki61 today.  It was a blast!  The first
flights (this morning) were in 10 mph winds at most.  It flew right out of
my hands and was really touchy.  I have the controls set pretty nutty and no
expo available.  I will have to dial in the D/R a little more.  The flaps
are a lot of fun, but I really need to put in some more down elevator.  It
was pretty smooth flight, but is a LOT different than my boomerang and Zagi
wings. 

I went back later that day when the winds were really kicking.  I had a
harder time controlling it, and decided I needed to put in a little nose
weight afteral (earlier flights with no additional weight to balance).  I
didnt feel like sticking around and wanted to dial in the control surfaces a
little more so I headed out.  Having a tired 4 year old also doesnt help
much :)  Its a great ship and I cant wait to fly it again, which
unfortunately, will be in two weeks after my trip this weekend :(

Thanks to everyone for their help.  I have some pictures of this beauty. 
Had the guys at the hobby shop airbrush the camo stripes on and finish it
with a dull cote.  I trimmed it out with the usual markings and its sweet. 
I will post them to my website as soon as I get the film developed.
