Managed to get a flight in last night, flew pretty nice, in between clouds and some wind.
I hope to be out again Sunday morning.

Craig

Couple attempts with the take off. I find that wind is your friend and once you add power keeping it on helps with ground control.
Landings were good, one out of the three today did nose over due to letting off on the elevator.
Pictures and a video to follow.

Craig.

Status: offline 		Congrats. I saw your plane last year at WBOD. You called for me when I flew my green tripe. I crashed mine at the WBOTR now I need another one. See, they are not too bad to fly. I loved mine. Looking forward to the pics.

Screwed the landing, have to remember to keep the elevator locked after touchdown to prevent nosing over.
Nothing worse than another engine idling in the back ground, errrrr, lol
Thanks for the videos Brad

Really enjoyed the photos and video of the Dr.1, I really have to make an effort to catch up to you some time and see it fly.
Cheers Don

Status: offline 		Your video was a pleasure to watch. Just goes to show how well engineered this kit really is. Fly’s like full scale minus the rotary engine torque effects and looks great. I’ve have had many dr1 kits that extend the firewall or cowl out and use an oversized rudder. You know in the past many people say the more scale the more difficult to fly. Well this kit proves that all wrong. FYI I told you about the longer the run out on landing the more prone to ground tip. If I had a grass field like yours I would be flying every day. A good strong head winds helps landing.One other thing. If you go dead stick you better have altitude because the glide ratio of this plane is like a piano.

I searched the thread and did not find it, nor on the GT site. I did not see ability to DL and view the Manual.
