Finally got out to fly my new 7035 Compulsion for 3-4 hrs today. Its a real good flying plane. Also flew the 7037 Mantis. I only had my LBwinch, a good little winch but not a full bore launching tool. When launching the Compulsion in a little wind, after it rotated, I would continually have to feed in blips of down as it pulled so hard it would stall the winch VERY quickly/frequently, my Mantis doesnt pull this hard. Cant wait to get a launch on a full bore winch! The Mantis indicates lift very well, the Compulsion is even better at this, and this is with first flights/ conservative CG setting. I had some concerns about how the 7035 airfoil on the Compulsion would slow for landing. Well let me tell you, if it slowed any more I would be hovering, this in a 7-8 mph wind. There is no doubt, after a little time on this plane it will be my # 1 Td ship. The only draw back for me is I am used to flying the Mantis with a pylon mounted wing, no need to worry about flaps on landing. Have to be sure and pull up flaps right before the plane touches down- or get a skeg I guess. Walter --- GG
