3rd flight on DLE 55RA with stock exhaust. Hitec digitals on all surfaces, Xoar 22x10 WWII prop, Dave Brown 6" Parabolic (P-51) spinner, stock retracts/wheels.
Nice plane I know this is an old video but recently I lost mine completely, due to a loss of signal of unknown reasons I lost my entire spit only saved the electronics and engine and retracts lol, so sad I didn't even get to enjoy the plane more than 10 flights oh well , its the risk we take on this hobby. Unfortanely Phoenix doesn't make the plane anymore because I was about to order another but found Tower discontinued the plane. Instead got myself a Seagull Giant Zero and will be flying with all of the spits old electronics and engine hopefully no failures this time .
Engine still breaking in, ran a little rich on this flight. Sorry for the zoomed-out shooting (last-minute thought with my 12-year-old recording on a phone).
Other than the slow roll rate, she flies like a Goldberg Tiger 60. In a 10 kt. headwind, she'll nearly stand still. I tried stall tests, but with a new engine, I was more afraid of stalling the powerplant than the wing. There should be another (bad) video of the slow-flight on here.
