          Sure does.. I like the center stick/left throttle setup!

          Kevin, thinking about a bunch of simulated carrier landings Whaay back when, from the camera view in the in-plane, it looks like that's about what you were getting landing the NXT,(over shoulder view) only the deck isn't moving and you have to deal with the wind, or no wind you have.

              Kevin, it looks like that thing basically has to be flown into the runway with almost no flare. Could you describe the flight characteristics of that one, vs your airplane?

                    Talk about living the dream. Racing over the beach and then up around the clouds. I'm jealous..........

                        The biggest difference with Ron's is the CG. He built EVERYTHING forward along with heavy 720 so that I have 50 lbs of lead in the far after tail just to keep CG at forward limit set by Sharp. The plane is much more stable. I haven't been over 300 yet so not sure how it handles high speed but I feel that the plane like forward CG and I plan on doing everything to Relentless to achieve the same. Ron's should also carry a passenger and still fly nice........

                          Thanks for the info. I can't wait to hear yours around the sticks next year with the new motor on it. That thing sounds NASTY. In a good way.
