Status: offline 		Rich was on the video camera and I am told by Marc S that Dom will be helping out with an edit. I will be sure to post as soon as its available. It was a typical English day of Cold, Windy and 90 degrees cross and a overcast backdrop but hopefully it will come out ok.
I only managed two flights, as we were doing lots of P-20 flights with the Stinger and Habu 32, but it felt pretty much nailed, right off the board. Awesome toy!

I tried a short/ aggresive take off on the second flight. I would estimate that it rotated at 50-60m ( Cross wind ) although I did get a little carried away and over pull. It just started to bite, but easily caught which was a pleasant surprise!

Status: offline 		This Photo shows the 1.9 at the start of a Knife edge loop. It finished it just fine. It was a manoeuvre that I started thinking "Hell, why not. I have never seen a jet do it and it probably wont, but lets see how far we get" I was smiling ear to ear when it came out the bottom as sweet as could be!

Status: offline 		This was a test flight full of surprises ( All good thankfully) but one of the biggest was how well powered it was with the Jet Cat P-80 Se. We knew from the 2M Skymaster Viper that it should be a good choice for the Futura. But how good, shocked us all. One of the jet guys was convinced it was a P120, before I told him it was just an 80. The 80 Se is such a sweet, quiet and smooth turbine. In the Futura it had more than enough vertical ( out of sight from a straight pass ) and the top speed, whilst not Bandit quick, was more than enough for me, and substantially more than it's bigger brother... Even with a 200 SX fitted!

Status: offline 		Sometimes, you just know from the start that a plane is "right" other times you know they need work to make them how you like them. The 1.9 Futura is just so close to perfect. A few clicks of trim and it was ready to display. It took everything that I could throw at it.. even the hard negative snaps.
I will have trouble sleeping on my front tonight
Jeremy... Ahhhh Essex boy! That explains it I cant comment, both my kids were born in Essex! Let me know if anything is a go for a NZ jet meet. I would love to get out there one day.
Regards Al

Status: offline 		Here it is coming out the bottom of the knife edge loop! Even under this most extreme of flight conditions, notice the lack of coupling on aileron and elevator. I reckon 2% rud-ail mix will make knife edge horizon to horizon a one handed affair!

Ah you haven't read all of the thread then . We spotted it at about 3.30am and then forgot to put it on, I think being half asleep might of had something to do with it. Now Sverrir has bought it, it's classed as intentional LOL
