It was a very exciting day to say the least. First off I have to say that although I had resisted moving to a 4 stroke for a few years the YS 115 fired right up and performed flawless all day. Got in 3 flights each one getting better and faster. The only things that need some work is is removing some of the weight I added to move the CG back as I went a touch too far. I also need to investigate the LiFe RX battery as after 1 flight it was reading 6.5V without load. Overall very happy and looking forward to it getting better as the engine breaks in and I get the airframe dialed in. I wanted to also thank everyone who supported and encouraged me during the build. This was a tough one as it was built during two moves. More people then I can mention came through not only supporting me and my Trixie in regards to the build but gave unmeasurable amounts of emotional support. The words "Thank You " seem to fall woefully short.
