Flew the Hiperbipe home to Fall City Wa from Lompoc Ca last Friday.
Pretty impressed. She flies really nice.
Flew 23 squared with an indicated of 145 mph. Saw 160 mph or so all the way home true AS.
It has elevator and aileron trim. When trimmed out, I could take my hands and feet off everything and it just kept going straight.
When you push the nose over to start a 500 fpm rate of descent, leaving the power on, she just jumps right up to 175 mph immediately.
Haven't noticed any weird habits, seems to be pretty straight forward.
Gonna miss the Skybolt though...
