Finally got it in the air today. What a wonderful bit of kit  I was too nervous to fly next to the sea on the maiden, so i moved in land 200yds. I couldn't ROG so had to hand launch and landings were not pretty, it was an awful site to fly from. But I'm glad i did, it really is a beautiful plane to fly. I would actually say it's as easy as the SC to fly. media.putfile.com/Gemini-maiden |

Kevin.
Very slow if you want it. She kind of floats by, like in slow motion.

What batteries are you using and what kind of motor? I ask because, it seems under powered and tail heavy. Or are you just feeling the plane out? I would love to get one of these but, haven't seen them for sale in the USA.

CoG is good at 85mm. i think i may need a little down thrust. BTW Multiplex have a very simple and quick system for adjusting thrust angles, its just a case of turning screws. The motor is a E flite 480 & Flightpower 3s 1800 lipo |

Really nice plane SCC, thanks for sharing. Thanks cybersoft. Strapped the 5in1 on the Gemini today and got some vid of my first attempt at inverted, only lasted a few seconds but what a thrill media.putfile.com/Gemini-on-boardDamaged my foam spat with the landing you see in the vid, no biggie.  Going to put some nice big foam wheels on and take the spats off. This should help me with the rough landing strip. |

I cannot find one of these in the U.S.. Anyone have any luck finding it? I did find a funjet and ordered it and got it but no luck with this one.
