I fly off a grass field, and it seems like half the time the gear legs get tweaked enough on take-off, that they will not retract all the way. Also, if the linkage is not "just-right" the gear will...

That thing should ROCK!

My US40+ is down for the count at this point. Two aborted takeoffs due to retract failures got me frustrated the other evening. By the time I got the retracts working I...

Jeez, with a YS 63, I think you can expect great vertical!

Set up on low throws, the plane flys very smooth and fast. I've got my CG at 5 1/16th back from the LE and that seems to be a realy good...

That should be a nice set up. I reallly wanted to put a 4s in mine, but as it is my first low wing, a 2S was advised. Mine is ready to fly again this weekend.

Good plan. I think I'll hold off on mechanical retracts as long as I'm flying off grass. How tall are the Aresti gear?

The rebuild is almost complete, the fuse side is now reinforced with fibre-glass, the forward turtle-deck is even better than it was before, and I've got an 11x6 APC waiting in the toolbox. Were I...

I'm running a 10x7 APC, top speed is certainly not an issue with this prop...high speed passes are very ....well...speedy.

Mine got crunched!

After about a dozen flights on the US40+ I had my first ever "mishap" since starting this hobby.

I was doing a touch and go, got into some crosswind, and rather than shutting off the throttle and...

The maiden flight...

I had one of the club veterans test fly my plane today....

He told me that he wanted to start waaaay down at the end of the runway, and while standing directly behind it...

Real life got in the way of my test flight!

Oh well, that gives me this week to put the final touches on the paint job and install a proper fuel dot on the cowl.
