Generaly im very impressed with current consumption, you can see on the HUD that A, doesnt pass 9A at full load, whitch kept on the air for 30 min .  Bix 2 glides very well, with better CoG tollerance (i was nose heavy about 2,5 cm!). New foam and strengthened fuse, insulates vibrations from motor to cam.  I think it needs more tuning to use flaps properly,  they help a lot at gaining height, but they cause yaw and some roll oscillations. Propably i need an erase-reset, for the compass issues.
