Well, it's done.....just in time for the coldest day of the season. 9.5 pounds (estimated) Mixed the ailerons to the elevator halves just to see what would happen. Will post a flight report after a 60 degree day with mild southerly winds. The bottom is solid white, so I should get a good contrast when rolling.

Lifer,
OH yeah! Learned to fly there. Dave McDonald taught me. You'd think I could fly better than I do because of that, but nope.
I don't get up near as often as I would like but what a great bunch of guys!

Here's some brief videos from the test flight day:

I wish we had been able to video the flat, inverted spins, which are my favorite. From 100 feet it made at least 30 turns before I pulled out with altitude to spare. Several trim adjustments were made and the fuel tank mounted behind the spar and the c/g presented no problems. It needed no forward stick when flying inverted. Most of the flying was at 1/2 throttle and it appears to climb straight up at full power and doesn't seem to fall off. Pretty much will climb straight up to the limits of my vision. I'm currently using an APC 16x8. I'll try different props on the next outing but all-in-all, a fun plane to fly.
