Maiden flight completed today.
Thank you @Frank v B for the assistance with the trimming and to @Andy Hoffer for the pictures.
Now a little bit more trim paint to help with orientation, then another flight soon.
More stable than I expected, better performance, but I will reduce the movements by approximately 50% and add expo for sensitivity around the neutral position.
