Well it finally happen, the weather was great and the wind was 7-10 mph straight down the runway! So I finally got the t-6A Texan on her first flight! I flew it with Power 90 motor, 8 cell 4000 mah lipos with a 15x10 prop.
The Texan taxied down the runway for about <metricconverter productid="30 feet">30 feet</metricconverter> and had a very smooth take off! Once I had her up, it just took 1 click on the Aileron and she flew hands off! The stock retracts worked great, smooth and at a nice speed. LOVE the retracts. There no bad flight habits turned great even at ½ throttle.
She had rolled very nicely and flew great inverted!! I was really worried about the landing all winter long, but she landed great!! Floated in very nicely! GREAT landing!!! (all 3 landing were great!) This bird is no flying brick!!! I love it!!
I flew the first Lipo for 5 minutes, and lots of juice left. I flew the next lipo for 6 minutes and once again a great flying plane!!!! The final battery went for 8 minutes and the cell voltage at the end of the flight was 3.75 volts, and this was at about ¾ and full throttle.
Just had a great day of flying and the bird turned lots of heads at the field!! Could not ask for a better day of first flights!!
I have a few pictures that I will have to download and will post in the next day.
