The weather warmed enough today to allow a test flight, I still have to sort a pilot out, but nothing to stop it flying.
Powered by an SC0.70FS turning an APC 13x7 she lifted off the ground we ease, power was immediately reduced to about 2/3rds which was more than enough for general mucking about. The test flight was pretty much an non event, she flew superbly, all manoeuvres where effortless even the pro hang and torque rolling, the stall turns are exquisite, she needs a touch of down elevator inverted, the rudder movement was only about half of what it should so a bigger horn will sort that and improve the knife edge, the big elevators means she will turn on a sixpence. Pottering around or flat out a real darling of a plane to fly that drew loads of favourable comments.
