I had the opportunity to test fly my new Legal Eagle model "Chad" on Thursday evening at our club meeting at Buxton Community Church. It is quite small so I can't fly peanut models there but there is plenty of room for lighter things.
I am pleased to say that it trimmed really easily. No noseweight was needed and a bit of packing under the rear of the stab was enough. I just used a really old motor from my old Legal eagle (18" loop of 0.093 thou). David timed one flight at 1m13sec which I am very happy with. I will see what I can do with it in a higher ceiling next time I go to Clayton Green.
Here is a video of one flight and another of Pete Newsom flying his A6 Foamie model.
