Too drunk to articulate properly. What i meant was that although I have the BF-109G, it seems rather bumpy and blunt in comparison to the standard ME-109E, which I think is a far prettier aircraft.

Well, maiden went really well, no issues at all with launch. Up and away, no fuss. Easy to fly, but it does need constant watching and small control inputs. Still managed to snap the nose, but not what you think. Someone (hmmm)  forgot to tighten the spinner and prop holding bolt ( Which is also a nose weight). So, on the landing approach ( about 40ft up ) the spinner, nose weight and prop went one way, the plane went another. Tail heavy, very little control, bang. One broken plane.  Now repaired ( How easy was that to fix?!) ;D, 5 min epoxy, carbon rods and some hot glue, and it's near unnoticable. Now everything is screwed on tight, and I know it flies, so I'll do it again tomorrow, and hopefully get some landings in! |

Oh Jeebus and almighty bob,, thank you for thy bounty in telling me to buyeth this plane, for, yea, though there was a mighty breeze, and the clouds werest dark,thy BF109 didst fly with the fury of thy wrath, and it was beautious to behold, and especially LO, and didst land fasteth on the first time, but didst go perfectly on the second. And now, as thy angels howl at me through thy finest ale, I shallest tryeth thy narrow landing gear on the next attempt, and tryeth to gain some 'video' of thiseth future attempt. (eth.)

That scrumpy will be the death of you, toff.
I think we can gather that your new toy is performing well . . . Good news.

Nah mate, Bud. But yes, did perform so well I was trembling ( Don't crash, don't crash!!!!!).
Did a slowish fly-by..about 10 ft....it really looks the part in the air. really easy to fly, but, like driving, watch everything all the time.
I'm a very happy chappy!
