Thanks Steve - I was more anxious on this maiden flight than I have been on any of the past couple maidens that I have done - go figure?!
(my realism score would suffer without my anemic pilot)

Thanks Dale - haven't heard from you for a while - are you gonna fly up to the ODP in your N-17? I have been following your thread, but it has been quiet for a while........I admire your ability to jump in and learn how and then build a full scale airplane. It is looking very good so far!
