Finally, my tri-motor ford is air worthy and last summer I logged the maiden flight. Keep in mind that all the scale details like dummy engine radials, panel lines, and marking have been left out in maiden flight. A work in progress. I did not want to put too much work in something that would not fly correctly. However, although the maiden was shaky, it was due to incorrect down trust on all engines. After correcting the problem she flies beautiful. I have flown it three time, all for trials. Now she awaits the finishing detail. Too much work and too many irons in the fire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOxYy3h1X9Q
