Aesthesis flew her maiden today. The SAP 180 HP is just too danged light....Aesthesis is a tad tail heavy. Originally intended for the ZDZ40, she was set-up accordingly. Need figure out how to put nose weight in and not add any extra weight.
Anyway, she came in at 9 lbs 24 ozs on the nose. The SAP has no problem hauling this bird around.
Have a little trimming to do which is normal, but first feel is very positive. I am pleased! A little disappointed at her tail heaviness but pleased overall. Here are a few photos from the too windy session this morning
Matt, would you mind starting a new thread detailing your new plane... would be cool to learn more about how it was built and what your design parameters were. Cool paint job, btw!
