A great day of flying: Cloud Dancer 60 maiden flight

I just returned from the airfield after 3 successful flights of my new Cloud Dancer 60. The first flight was somewhat uneventful, just your basic trimming out flight. After about 2 minutes of trimming I began to test the flight envelope. It flies quite nicely and the Saito FA-90T is plenty of power for it. The airplanes dry weight, no fuel, is 6.25 lb. The 90T is turning a Master Aircrew 14x6 propeller at 8150RPM WOT throttle. There is really nothing too exciting to say about it. It is a great flier, quite gentle and easy to land. although you will see in my last landing that it was a bit less than perfect. I also had my SIG Astro Hog out too. It was sporting a new Tactic TR625 receiver. I replaced the TR624 with the TR625 dual antenna. Again, no issues. A good range test was performed and there were no issues. My Cloud Dancer is on a JR 72Mhz system while the Astro Hog is on my Tactic 6 channel system. There is a BIG difference between the two transmitters in weight. The JR system weighs at least twice as much as the lightweight Tactic. Quite honestly I like the weight and feel of the JR system better.
