Here's a photo of my skinned Deception wings.. more as I shoot it.

Well... didn't provide much between "skinned wings" and "maiden flight".
The maiden flight occurred at the SPA contest in Asheville, NC this past weekend. The airplane felt great, but I flew my "seasoned" WM Intruder in the contest and it was just as well. A few minor issues did crop up with the Deception. The plane dropped one of the aileron pushrod links, and I noted some irregularity in centering of the rudder servo. Found the rudder pushrod was rubbing against a fuselage former, and replaced all pushrod links with the steel press-on type. Serious trimming at every opportunity... coming up.

A few pics for anyone interested..
