I solicited assessments from Dan Carrozza, Richard Paul, Vince Perillo and Jim Onorato of the WRAMs, as all had opportunity to take a test flight. All, me included, give high marks in all areas and recommend that a larger version be considered. Addresses are listed alphabetically in the Index of Manufacturers in the magazine. As the model neared airspeed, I neutralized elevator, and the tail lifted with marginal up-elevator. Takeoff was smooth, with no corrections necessary.
Ground handling is very predictable.
The S-300 tracks straight, responds quickly to rudder control and has no tendency to nose over. Landing is a breeze with no tendency to snap. With the suggested elevator throw, there was a significant tendency to snap when full up was given, and the roll rate is brisk, to say the least. This tendency to snap disappeared when elevator deflection was reduced. When a stall is initiated, it is forward and not off the wing.
