Doyle posted this on Google+ this morning. This was maybe the 4th or 5th flight on the plane, well before I got it well trimmed.

Mike,
That was breathtaking; a ‘no touch’ flight of that length, with a model that size. Congratulations. I could not see anything wrong with the trim. Is it possible to slow the early part of the flight to nearer the speed it had towards the end? Or is that what you were already thinking about when you said it was not trimmed yet? I enjoyed it.

On launching, the left wing dipped too much and as you can see in the video, the turn opened up significantly.
After the crash and repair, I removed some left thrust, added about 3/16" Gurney flap about the length of the aileron, and added some left rudder. I also lowered the prop pitch by about two degrees. That's when it started to turn better, keep the wing up and would easily ROG.
Regards.
