    Looks great! How's it handle with the counterbalanced rudder and elevator?

    So far with the limited time, ~10 hours or so, I'm very pleased with that modification. The low speed handling is much improved and the flair authority with flaps down is greatly improved.

    I was concerned that it would negatively impact the stall characteristics, more tail authority makes a larger aoa, which would give a sharper break, but the stall is still fairly benign. I will explore this part of the envelope, and report on it, in more detail when the prop comes back.




    Also at this point I'd like to thank everyone here on TeamKitfox for your support and assistance through the build. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
