Ta152 maiden flight report:
After many cancelled trips to the field for various issues with engine, retracts, tail wheel, etc. the moment of truth came Sunday the 1st.
This amazing airplane just flew off the grass runway before I had the throttle all the way!! CG at the plan location it seemed a bit touchy on pitch but it may be due to not enough expo. Trimmed nose down a few clicks and a click or two of left aileron.
Mostly flew 5-6 minutes at half throttle to check the feel and see how it behaves with gear up and down.
The landing was pretty un-eventful with partial flaps only!
I'm now waiting for pictures an video from a couple of guys at the club.
I can say this is an awesome airplane!
Pics to come in the next day or two.
Here is green9 after the flight.
