Default RE: a10 maiden

Hi
What a great feeling it is to have the maiden over with. Once the trims were set, it really got gentle. I haven't had my finger shake that much in a long time.
Scott has to do some minor things to really make it right ( a little more lead in the nose & more throw in the elevator ). I left the landing gear down ( one less thing to worry about )
It still seemed very stable, even with the strong winds that we had. I was also very supprised that even with the grass field & the P-80 SE in it, it still lifted off in about 400' .
I want to thank Scott and Lori again for having faith in me to fly this great plane and of course all the Club members that helped.
Dave
