She has been maidened. Test spooled to 100% with a little negative pitch. Did fine, but seemed like a little tail left drift in rate mode. Put less static pitch in and spool up seemed fine. Lifted off and she wanted to drift left and piro cw. Got it under control and landed. Switched to avcs(heading hold) and tried again. Brought her up to hover in normal mode. Nice stable tail, no wag, no wander. It was too dark to try her in idle 1 or test for tail wag. Things I learned: she is SCARY, 40% expo is wayyyyy too soft for me. Going to turn it down to 20% expo and try again when there's more light, and after warming up on another bird
