The testing results are very promising. The pilots are satisfied with the new ASI gauge installed on the prototype. Also, the slightly changed airframe led the plane to have slightly different behaviour than before. Test pilots noticed spins, different reaction from the controls. A new propeller has been installed as well. Soon, the engineers at Oeffag will equip the prototype with a special device allowing the pilot to take some rest during the flight and to fly with the hands off for a while :)

Your reporter from the Oeffag factory,

Sounds promising. Maybe the flight model will be better suited for both aerobatics and regular flying then.

No, you will be able to lock the stick in the desired position, just like it was in some German-constructed WW1 scouts. It will work both as a kind of simple autopilot or trim :)
