Wanted to see what all the fuss is about this plane so I bought and have
just the past couple days put a little stick time on the Pike Superior.
Its a nice flying plane. Had to move the Cg waaay behind what is
suggested. Probably will get flak for this but it seems to fly very much
like a higher performance FS01 Compulsion, the flight characteristics are
similar. I have the full carbon F3J version
so I decided to test it on a particularly hard launch, the wing tips
flexed, alot. My F3J Icon never flexed like that, even in the wind.
I suspect the Pike is plenty strong though, just wasnt expecting to see the
tips flex like that. I really like for lack of a better word, the
"speediness" of the Pike, it can cover ground fast. Seems to thermal turn
as tight as one would ever want, climbs out well and is very resistant to tip
stall. I like it.
