Flew the s1 for the first time the other day but, before I did, my buddy flew it first. The only comment he made was that the stick seems to run out of forward travel making it difficult to get a clean inverted stall. He said it took some early rudder to get it to spin inverted. If pushed forward all the way, the stick can be made to hit the tank but the elevator seems to have reached the stop just before this happens. Has anyone experienced this?

Also, my flying wires seem to be making a wining noise when pulling gs or slowing down. Is this normal? It is audible from the ground too.

Aside from my radio not working (turns on but do not hear anything through the headset and can't transmit) and my battery not charging, the pitts was great!!

I will post the videos on youtube as soon as I can figure out how to shrink a 2 gb gopro2 video.
