Default RE: Fly Eagle Jets A-7 Corsair

I am gooing to weigh the jet dry this weekend and will post it here,as far a fuel, we flew it 8 min from take off roll to landing and pumped the fuel out and we had 55 oz. left. the rhino had plenty of power and it was flown during the 8 min. flight about 1/2 -2/3 power the whole time.James at FEJ had Advised to not use flaps on landing and his advice was used.the landing was with almost no head wind maybe lest than 5mph and when the landing gear was down you could tell a noticable decrease in airspeed.I was truly amazed at how slow and solid the A-7 landed.I hope to get more flights on her in the coming weeks but the weathe in Oklahoma can be real extreme this time of year.in fact i think we have broken almost all the records for weather here in this state,snow,temps/max/min,and eathquakes!but rght now i am really impressed with the A-7.
