Maiden flight short but sweet I was suffering with bad fuel and we tried and tried to set the engine up not knowing it was sour fuel. I managed to get it airbourne, climb maybe 40 feet, then the engine died it landed straight ahead with only a minor bend to the front gear.

I have not had a chance to get it out again but was pleased with it's seemingly docile handling. I am hoping to be able to get the plans copied but I have cut them up a bit for ease of building so I hope this does not make it impossible to copy them. I would also like to wait and see if the plane is going to be a keeper before doing so.
