Results of the maiden flight show that my Archangel was wanting to roll left. Could be that with the twin opposing cylinders it was experiencing the torque which can cause a roll (or wing drop) to the left in flight. My plan is to add spacers (washers) behind the right two engine mounting flanges that will force the thrust line to the right. That usually counters any tendency to torque roll left.
Otherwise, it has plenty of control surface throw and power from the 30cc gas engine.
One other note; I covered this model with SIG Koverall and painted it with three colors of gray Behr's latex paint. Fowler flaps are installed that turn on LED landing lights when dropped.
Any comments made below about the torque roll experienced with the twin cylinder engine will make for good discussion. Thanks for watching.
PS: I will make sure my hat is on straight and level next time so that the hat camera work isn't "tilted" and below the horizon.
